People weren’t wildly supportive of nuclear power before Chernobyl / TMI either, but after? 40 years of virtual moratorium on new construction in most of the world, absolute rollback in Germany. We’ve continued to poision ourselves with coal and wreck the climate with CO2 instead of learning to do nuclear right. If building of new plants weren’t so difficult, older and less stable plants like Fukushima could have been decomissioned before having major problems.
Delusional take. We, the people pretty much hate AI already. We hate how it‘s utilized against us.

Except in this case, we’re turning down the advancement of a technology that hurts humanity in every conceivable way and poisons the environment.
That’s how I feel about Bitcoin, which, by the way, STILL consumes more energy in its datacenters than AI.
