Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

404 Media develops a skeptical take on an unhinged conference presentation.

TLDR: IAEA appears to be cooked. Peak lunacy is on display.

The comments are full of quality sneers.

Edit: The whole presentation feels like the product of an extended manic episode, it's comoleyely ungrounded from the realities of operating a commercial nuclear power plant.
