It mentions AI as a big ticket item in electrical demand. Could just be for clicks, but if AI and crypto aren't good for anything else, if it convinces the government to make our electrical grid more robust, I guess I'll call it a win. A very expensive and arguably wasteful win, but a win nonetheless.

- NikolaNovak 2y agoYeah, "AI" is everywhere these days, and I try to give it benefit of doubt - if they want a Generative/LLM AI to build their designs and operational manuals or answer emergency questions, maybe not; if it's a more traditional 'AI' and just means automatically adapt to conditions, probably yes? As long as there exist backups and manual controls? (not because of fear of AI gaining sentience and killing us, just for unforseen or emergency circumstances)
