"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

‘Atoms for Algorithms:’ The Trump Administration’s Top Nuclear Scientists Think AI Can Replace Humans in Power Plants (www.404media.co)

One of the slides Bahran showed during the presentation attempted to quantify the amount of human involvement these new AI-controlled power plants would have. He estimated less than five percent “human intervention during normal operations.”

“The claims being made on these slides are quite concerning, and demonstrate an even more ambitious (and dangerous) use of AI than previously advertised, including the elimination of human intervention. It also cements that it is the DOE's strategy to use generative AI for nuclear purposes and licensing, rather than isolated incidents by private entities,” Heidy Khlaaf, head AI scientist at the AI Now Institute, told 404 Media.

“The implications of AI-generated safety analysis and licensing in combination with aspirations of <5% of human intervention during normal operations, demonstrates a concerted effort to move away from humans in the loop,” she said. “This is unheard of when considering frameworks and implementation of AI within other safety-critical systems, that typically emphasize meaningful human control.”

This actually sounds like a good final episode for the Simpsons. Burns uses AI at the power plant. Everyone is laid off. Everyone in town is affected financially. The AI decides it does this need Burns. Kills Burns. The AI skyrocket electricity prices for Springfield. People in town form angry mob and elect Homer to enter plant to shut off the AI. Homer and AI have a 2001 Odyssey style fight. Shenanigans happen. Homer wins. Episode ends.

Online 2 follow up episodes come out.

  1. Homer opens a beer to celebrate in the control room. Some beer spills onto the AI Computer/power plant control desk. The AI is revived for a split second, enough to send the plant into a self destruct sequence. Everybody leaves Springfield and the plant goes Chernobyl. End of episode.

  2. Everyone is celebrating the AI being turned off but in the background Smithers grades the AI computer. He believes the computer alone has enough power to bring back Burns in AI form. The town of Springfield celebrates and months pass. Life is normal except for the defunct Burns mansion basement where Smithers is about to turn on AI Burns. Cut to commercial. Come back and Maggie enters the basement with a gun and shoots Burns again. End of series.
