I don't get why a train AI would need so much power, how hard is it to drive a train?

Will the nuclear reactors be on the train with the AI, or will it be some sort of wired transfer?

I’m not opposed to new nuclear energy in principle. However Microsoft, an unrelentingly bad organization that consistently acts in bad faith to its customers, employees and businesses parters, and is seemingly dedicated to making awful products that never meaningfully improve, is not something I would trust to do nuclear safely.

While I appreciate them going a greener route, if these chat AIs are still this inefficient to simply train, maybe it is best left to return them back to the research phrase.

AI's going to kill us off by doing what we do better than us. Consuming resources and producing waste. And we're already pretty good at it.

Yesssss

I don't give a shit about training AI but the idea of Microsoft running nuclear reactors is hilarious to me. Either they do it well and we all benefit from the knowledge, or Windows goes out with a bang

I guess the nuclear power people are gonna become Microsoft fans... powered by nuclear power.

Its going to be all for nothing at the end of the day.

Small Modular Reactor technology is the future, and it's really promising.

Self-contained (no onsite refueling), mass produced (cheap, higher quality), and modular (add more for more power, or small enough to power a data center).

Here's some quick videos from a professor of Nuclear Energy covering topic:
