'It will be commercially available in 10 years!" - we were told 10 years ago, and 10 years before that.
You’re right, we should just burn more oil. Thanks, Qatar
Why would someone assert that there are only these two options? It’s a false dilemma.
Don’t worry, I saved us years of research and asked chat GPT 3.5 “How can we achieve viable nuclear fusion to solve a key problem in the quest for clean energy?”
Achieving viable nuclear fusion for clean energy involves overcoming technical challenges related to plasma confinement, sustained reactions, and efficient energy extraction. Advances in tokamak and stellarator designs, along with improved superconducting materials, are crucial. International collaborations like ITER aim to address these challenges and pave the way for a sustainable fusion energy future.
We’re good now, guys. We just need to overcome these technical challenges and improve superconducting. Problem solved.
This is not the type of “AI” the article talks about.
Hashtags for the lemmy user?
Eh, lemmy federates with mastodon and other fediverse variants.
I can get it thinking hashtags are applicable. Either because it has ingested content from a lemmy instance that was posted from a mastodon instance. Or its learned to relate lemmy to the wider fediverse, where hashtags are more prevalent#LemmyCommunity !

That’s very interesting. I wonder if active prediction and control of instabilities like that will be necessary, or if fusion reactors can be made more stable. I guess time will tell.
Automatic industrial control systems have been in use for decades. This isn’t really a new application, it’s just “process control with AI” and used on fusion.
If by ai you mean brute force until something positive comes out and we can then proceed to spending 10 years to verify if it viability, the uh… go ahead.
“Automated parameter space exploration with a couple of heuristics” sounds less sexy
Well good, because considering how much energy AI is taking up, they damn well better.
Now, how are they going to solve the problem of how much fresh water AI is taking up?
Scientists say they can use AI to solve a key problem in the quest for fresh water.
… if corporate oil wants them to
