With nuclear-powered subs being thrown around the ocean tin foil hats might actually come in handy Australia contracting the USA and UK to build nuclear subs to apparently "defend" themselves in the South China Sea, I am feeling a little bit concerned. This is nuclear escalation if you ask me.
The main tactical factor of a nuclear sub in my opinion, is not just that they can stay underwater, it is that your opponents can't shoot at one without risking destroying the ocean around you for possibly 10,000 years. Subs can fire at an opponent from hiding, it could be anywhere, and when it attacks, you don't even know what you are shooting at or from what country they come from. In this way it is close to a terrorist weapon. I think that there's no moral justification for this type of weapon. Anyone who chooses knowingly to wield such a vindictive tool is not morally acceptable.
So here go the nation-states with the villainy, and on top of that we now have a nuclear energy narrative growing with powerplant investments by Microsoft and Amazon. These new power plants to be used for AI data centers. Ironic since the news and government was persecuting Bitcoin mining for using comparably less energy than they say they need now. I'm not anti-nuclear energy. The more watts the better but AI is basically a fiat bubble. It's nice to have easy art, coding and quick but suspect search answers though hardly compares to the human impact of sound money. Really the AI will be used for tax collecting, narrative control and disodent detection. So it's just like Government mining, and of course they think it's ok despite the blaring contradiction. State and big media only last year were saying private bitcoin miners were boiling the ocean
It used to be taboo to use energy in a data centre like this, maybe will be less so now. I think the mining love is growing. AI and Bitcoin mining centres are being built as it is beneficial to have both in one location. I wan't to see more home miners and more home AI systems for a decentralised future. More nuclear power plants are ok, but let's just hope the government don't blow them up. The governments are degenerating so much they should not be trusted alone with advanced technology. I hope I don't see them manifest their own trope, I am not keen on freshly cooked radioactive fish from the sub wreck.
Governments end up boiling the oceans, not bitcoin.
