I have a previous post about the image of the beast from the book of Revelation having something possibly to do with AI, and not that man will create a true AI, but that the fallen angels would control such a system as a false sign of AI to persuade the world, as well as to control technology. So when one of their megacorps comes out with this gem, you have to ponder if it’s just hype. Demons are highly intelligent, supernatural beings who could accomplish such a thing even if not technologically feasible now, and it would be pretty persuasive to the world population already primed to worship and follow an AI system as deity. If nothing else, it would be a good premise for a book.

Microsoft wants us to believe AI will crack practical fusion power, driving future AI
This BS ends at some point, right?

Fri 9 May 2025 // 11:23 UTCMicrosoft believes AI can hasten development of nuclear fusion as a practical energy source, which could in turn accelerate answers to the question of how to power AI.
…
“The pursuit of nuclear fusion as a limitless, clean energy source has long been one of humanity’s most ambitious scientific goals,” three Microsoft Research boffins – Kenji Takeda, Shruti Rajurkar, and Ade Famoti – wrote in a post published Wednesday.
“While scalable fusion energy is still years away, researchers are now exploring how AI can help accelerate fusion research and bring this energy to the grid sooner.”
…
Such speculation is needed because AI is not currently sustainable. As the UN Environment Program observed last year, “The proliferating datacenters that house AI servers produce electronic waste. They are large consumers of water, which is becoming scarce in many places. They rely on critical minerals and rare elements, which are often mined unsustainably. And they use massive amounts of electricity, spurring the emission of planet-warming greenhouse gases.”

I have to say, I like this new green big tech activist plan to defer serious emissions reduction efforts until affordable nuclear fusion is available. If this is the latest green position, I can get on board with that plan, so long as they develop nuclear fusion on their own dime.
