This is perfect, you made my day. I had to read this 5 times until I finally understood the tell. This seems so normal when your native language is German.

That is outdated information, renewables + battery storage have become cheaper than nuclear power.

Side note, not relevant to discussion:
And Nuclear is on par with the safety of solar and wind but you seem prompt to forget that.
This feels rude. Your post already mentions safety of nuclear power as does the link I posted. Just from the fact that I did not reiterate that information you insinuate an opinion on my side that I did neither write nor imply.

On the site there is also a direct comparison: ourworldindata.org/…/death-rates-from-energy-prod…
Grouping Hydro with other renewables is not very nice for wind and solar, which are pretty safe - with the added benefit of being cheaper than nuclear power.

- Comment on US Energy Secretary Chris Wright: “I'm thrilled to report that after 35 years, on July 4th, we will end the subsidies for wind and solar projects” 1 month ago:
That is an amazing little speech. I think except for the first sentence and the “Thank you” at the end every sentence contained misinformation on renewables. I wonder how long it took them to come up with this density of lies.

How stupid can a company be to give that much access to an LLM?
The typical science fiction doomsday AI scenarios always assume an intelligent AI. If the current trend continues humanity’s last conversation will end something like this:
“You are absolutely right, I should not have used the nuclear launch codes president Trump entrusted me with to bomb every country on earth.
If you want, I can help you come up with a list of fun activities to do in a bunker.”

The typical example is Shor’s algorithm
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor's_algorithm
It allows to efficiently find the prime factors of an integer - a problem without a known polynomial algorithm on a classical computer.
This would directly break RSA encryption, as it relies on factorisation being difficult.

However, there are encryption algorithms that are considered safe even against a quantum computer.

Considering how much heat the servers probably generate, ChatGPT might have a decent chance in that competition 😁
