That’s pretty cool. I would have guessed it would be cheaper to use wind energy.

Cheaper but unreliable.

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.

Oh my Gwyn, this comment section is just amazing.

Yeah, every time AI or nuclear energy is mentioned the quality of the comments plummets. Since we have the two combined in this story, the results are tragically predictable.
