Nuclear fusion can’t produce net energy, so is it really a solution to AI’s growing energy demands?

    Maybe AI can help us break the fusion hurdles. Oh. It’s still telling people to eat rocks, just used to create waifu porn and as a mass spy application? Nothing else, really? Well shit.

        Don’t know enough to find the study, but AI did provide novel, and unexpected, solutions to magnetic containment issues.

        Think it was a pop-sci version of this:

      Probably. Proxima fusion is using simulation-driven engineering to pave their way through the design space, no matter how you approach it it’s gotta involve dimension reduction in some way and that’s ML. They speak of AI but well it’s a press piece.

      LLMs or diffusion models? Nah, don’t think so. This is actual engineers throwing statistics at a particular problem to identify what prototypes they should build, not techbros throwing shit at the wall.

      I know you’re being reflexively downvoted by who hate everything AI, but this is the sort of thing AI should be most useful for, which is finding patterns within large problem spaces with many variables.

        They’re mocking AI, why would they be being downvoted by people who reflexively hate anything AI?

      It’s even bad at porn. Very limited means of describing the process, forgetting that there are no bed sheets in a park, same repeating metaphors. Boring.

        Sorry, I didn’t mean to leave out the bestiality porn creation as well. That was unintentional on my part.
