Breaking things was exactly why nuclear power even got started.

Fission tends to move quite fast and break a lot of things, so... I'd say they'll produce a lot of energy.

#16I’m quite positive on Meta right now.They’ve been making a string of smart, forward-looking moves — open-sourcing their LLMs (which builds ecosystem mindshare), scaling AI infrastructure aggressively, and now securing nuclear energy for long-term stability.
This nuclear deal isn’t just PR or “greenwashing” — it’s a serious bet on power availability, which is quickly becoming the real bottleneck in AI.
Compared to some of their peers, Meta seems more willing to take technically grounded, long-term positions rather than chasing hype.

#20Luckily they don't own it, they are basically just helping guarantee its future operation. Pretty much the same for Microsoft and Three Mile Island.
