    Maybe it’s a start?

    I know our future is probably going to be a war and famine torn hellscape of human suffering no matter what happens, but it’s possible in the medium-term future this will be a good thing.

    I mean, there’s nothing we can do to stop this wacky combination of tech oligarchs without a shred of human sanity and a government run by toddlers and podcasters, but AT LEAST this may lead to the normalization of nuclear power.

    I thought growing up on PBS that people everywhere would be embracing nuclear power by now, but it turns out that I might be part of the 0.00001% of the population who have even a trace of knowledge how it works, and people are largely still terrified of nuclear power plants. Fukushima didn’t help with that.

    Another way of looking at it, Sammy is gonna make absolutely sure that ChatGTP only spouts positive propaganda about nuclear power, which while he’s doing it for his personal gain, if it makes people embrace it more, it will actually help us all.

    Alternatively, just dirty bombs for the next century.
