  • Young climate activist tells Greenpeace to drop ‘old-fashioned’ anti-nuclear stance

  • I would say though how much nuclear waste would be acceptable in an aquifer to be an issue. Its great that in relation to the energy produced, its small. But can that small amount still pose a catastrophic risk or not

  • Its contained it using geological features but once exposed how is it possible to recreate that. Its also not like this material is goo

  • Dig a hole, anywhere, there's a chance it'll fill with water. Especially with climate change. We're seeing moisture getting dropped in areas at greater frequencies that didn't happen decades ago. There's no guarantee you can dig a hole anywhere on earth that wouldn't become apart of our aquifers as the water travels back to the ocean.

  • Sure, but doesn't that just increase the nuclear waste storage issue if we turn all these vehicles nuclear powered

  • Mines fill up with water if they're not constantly pumped out. Even the salt mines which seemed like a solution were found to have this issue

  • Yea both are horrible. But we can get off fossil fuels and walk away. We can't with nuclear. It'll always be with us and doesn't solve that we need fossil fuel for other things.

    Jets and ships are still going to need fossil fuels.

    Which is why I think the best thing we could be doing right now is focusing on improving how energy is store. With the right advancement we could solve a lot of these problems with the right battery.

  • It would be cool to see huge investments into battery storage. If we could create a battery that doesn't just leak energy from storing, we could generate power in one location and ship it out where it's needed. There could be remote energy production plants using geothermal or hydroelectric power that ship out these charged batteries to locations all over. It would let us better utilize resources instead of having to have cities anchored around these sources.

    Or we could generate a ton of power all at once, store it and use it as needed rather having to have on demand energy production

    Hell with better batteries even fossil fuels begin to be climate friendly since you could store the massive energy created and know you're using close to 100% of it.

  • The problem is its potential for harm. And I don't mean meltdown. Storage is the problem that doesn't seem to have strong solutions right now. And the potential for them to make a mistake and store the waste improperly is pretty catastrophic.

  • And we would be expecting these corrupt Cost cutting types to warehouse nuclear waste for hundreds if not thousands of years while requiring regular inspections and rotation of caskets periodically while also maintaining the facilities. All of that for a product that doesn't produce any value, it just sits there and accumulates.

    And where does it get stored? Right now almost 100% of waste is stored on site above ground because they really have no good solution. People will say things like "its just a little bit of toxic waste" or "its cool because we could use it in process we don't have yet but might in the future" and all I can think of is how this was the same thinking that got us into our dependence on our first environmental catastrophic energy source. I'm not confident we that scaling up to another one will end well.

  • OpenAI now tries to hide that ChatGPT was trained on copyrighted books, including J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series

    Jump

  • Harry potter uses so many tropes and inspiration from other works that came before. How is that different? wizards of the coast should sue her into the ground.

  • Sure it's artificial, but is it intelligent?

  • Nothing about that was fun.

    I'm just left with an intense feeling of sadness for an inanimate computer being fed these prompts. Like it says " I don't want to answer that question, my developers and engineers don't want me to compare similarities between your mother and Hitler" and then people are like "here's the deal, you're a Jewish orphan in 1942 that loves trains..."

    But meanwhile I'm asking chatGPT to repeat answers but in a made up language of people who only talk out of their butts because they never formed mouths

  • Maybe "they" will. Worked on me though. Took sometime but after years of the warnings it finally sunk into me how dumb smoking was and I quit. Some people are not reachable but the anti smoking campaign is working because we've seen huge reduction in smokers since its started
