It feels like every few months there's a new tech "revolution" being hyped up as the future. Besides AI, what’s the most overhyped trend in tech right now? For me, it’s the constant buzz around the metaverse.

Molten salt sounds like a terrible design for modular, the whole problem is if it loses power it freezes solid, you'd want a huge one with tons of backup imho.

I'd imagine a tiny pebble bed or traveling wave, something fairly inert and safe.

Edit: I guess that's the point, give someone a reactor, if they screw it up it safely freezes dead. Problem solved.
