With a nuclear plant, there’s a teeny teeny tiny chance I’ll get Hulk powers.
With AI, I’ll probably just lose my job and destroy the planet.

gotta be careful here because they'll take that as consent for both. "GEE IF THE POWER IS ALREADY THERE...."
Generation IV power plants can be designed so that they are physically incapable of going into meltdown. And the technology is getting better and better at reusing the waste.
So, of course, one would prefer a nuclear power plant.
If anything, we really need to update old power plants and replace all other non-renewable plants with cleaner power, renewable or not.

I like things that don't vibrate in such a way that it makes me want to vomit and die, true.
I don't want either please.
Centralized energy sources should be considered a bad idea in Europe after what happened in Ukraine.
I think nuclear power safety has improved significantly over what they had in the USSR 40 years ago.

Are you nuts? And miss all these heat that data center will provide you yearly? Imagine in summer having heat from the data center!
You need to stop asking for nuclear power plants, data center is the feature, and you have to accept it! Period.
Pretty sure the nuclear plant will provide significantly more heat. I mean, those giant cooling towers are specifically designed to unload heat into the atmosphere.
Yeah! If there's ONE thing lame-ass nuclear plants and their spicy rocks suck at, it's making heat!
Move into the machine city, probably they keep the machines cool inside.
