I think certain titles do well because they become a sort of unintentional clickbait. I absolutely expected this to be about marine biology. The original title, "World's First Undersea Roundabout," is much clearer. </crotchety_old_man>

  This is actually where LLMs save us from scummy human clickbait and shit, I can just ask ChatGPT etc to summarize an article and go on with my life while the AI suffers :')

    Whilst the world suffers because more and more let's say "not entirely climate-neutral" data centres are being built beause you were to lazy to read an article you mean.

      Nothing to stop you making assumptions if you feel you have to.

      It depends on so many factors. Reading a long article on your laptop is likely less efficient than letting an LLM summarize it for you and then only reading the summary, while reading the article on your phone would be even more efficient. There are a lot of very contradictory estimations of just how much power, CO2e and water a single prompt consumes, and everyone (myself included) seems to just pick what fits their narrative best.

      The data centers are spurring new investment and building of nuclear power plants, which are going to be critical infrastructure for any stable and reliable carbon neutral power generation future, IMHO.

        When stable government collapses they're also going to be involuntary nature reserves.

        Not with modern fail-safe designs.

        Doesn't have to be a Chernobyl. Fuel leaching into the groundwater works just as well. And nobody has found a way to store those safely without continued maintenance.

        We have plenty of solutions for spent fuel storage as well as recycling fuel now. We just have NIMBY folks who protest it because they’re scared of “nuclear”.

        Nobody has ever invented one that survives by itself for the long term.

  In fairness, it’s literally called the jellyfish roundabout on the local bus timetables (as I know from having visited and caught the 450) https://www.ssl.fo/en/timetable/bus/450-torshavn-eysturoy-jellyfish-roundabout https://www.ssl.fo/en/timetable/bus/450-torshavn-eysturoy-je...

Yeah, I was expecting jellyfish I'm disappointed.

Flag it. Seriously. It‘s against the rules.

Yea, but that's what they call it. No editorializing on my part.
