Microsoft is going nuclear to power its AI ambitions

I have an idea. Why don't we give new experimental AI systems their own off-grid nuclear power plants so they can't be switched off. There's no way that could go wrong.

I can’t let you interrupt my fine-tuning run, Dave.

Easy, just broaden the responsibilities of the SCRAM officer. Within reach of their axe you have:

]The cable for the control rods

]The power feed from the plant to the AI datacenter

]The backbone fiber connecting the DC to the wider world

In event of Skynet episode, sever all three!
