Microsoft is betting on small modular nuclear reactors to grow its energy infrastructure for training AI, a highly ambitious plan.

    A nuclear reactor connected to the internet sounds like a bad idea.

        „Your reactor has been temporarily disabled due to license payment issues. Please consult support@mcaffee.com“

      Not that you’re safe even if it’s not connected to the internet (stuxnet comes to mind)

      I’m not sure why you think it would be connected to the internet.
