i always find it odd how risk averse the anti-nuclear camp is. I mean if climate change is as bad as they say, it's worth the risk! Without going into the argument itself. If we need radical changes fast, and nuclear can provide them(!

Consider this: The total emission amount of the entire East Coast of the US is much bigger than that of California. Since the total amount (and not per capita) is what matters, we should focus on how to lower the East Coast's emissions

I heard of this (very neat) idea and gave it some thought. I think it can work very well in the short term. Perhaps OpenAI has already implemented this and can secretly detect long enough text created by GPT with high levels of accuracy. Ho
