  • I’m anti-nuclear, but it’s because nuclear is so much slower to build and more expensive than solar or wind so the fossil fuel industry is pushing for nuclear to delay the transition away from fossil fuels and use up all the funding.

    If you have nuclear plants, you’ve paid to build them and you’re on the hook for decommissioning costs, sure, keep running them. Starting construction on new nuclear in 2026? That’s a terrible idea.

    You won’t be up and running before 2040 and you’re not going to be competitive against 2040’s renewables and batteries, never mind 2070’s.





  • I watched someone try to use Gemini through Android Auto to navigate somewhere a few days ago. It was kind of amazing.

    He told it to navigate to a place, and it found a match on a different continent, refused to navigate to it and then rambled about two other irrelevant places it wanted him to go to instead for a while before it finally shut up and he could try again. It didn’t work the second time either.

    Ye olde Google Assistant, when told “navigate to <place name>”, will open maps and search for <place name>.

    I am a person. You are an object. Do as you’re fucking told, I’m not interested in listening to you trying to fake having an opinion.
