Elon Musk’s new pay package could amount to $100B per year.
That's the same as 3.2 million cashiers’ paychecks combined.
It’s more than 1.4 million elementary school teachers’ paychecks.
It’s more than 2 million janitors’ paychecks.
Billionaire greed is out of control.

Yeah, to spell it out, this is about generative AI trying to brute force licensing!
Not cool machine learning tools that help you design a better reactor or something.

Problem: AI needs massive amounts of power to thrive. Nuclear makes lots of power. Nuclear takes a long long time to do safely.
Proposed solution that I'm sure will have no unpleasant consequences: Use AI to speed up the construction of new nuclear plants.

Tech companies are betting big on nuclear energy to meet AIs massive power demands and they're using that AI to speed up the construction of new nuclear power plants.
