The positive thing there is that it probably paces our development. If we can't get to true AGI without way more energy than we can currently produce, then we don't have true AGI risk right now.

There's still risk because it might not be true or we might be able to get close enough to do damage. But slowing down AI is fine by me.

So will AI (or more accurately LLM) be the push needed to make limitless fusion energy a reality?

Get rid of bitcoin and you solve the energy problem.

Man, if only there was some sort of energy source that is not only green and renewable, but also outputs a ton of energy rather efficiently…

Oh man, I clicked that link really hoping you were going to link to a Dyson Sphere.

Elon will probably start taking preorders for Dyson spheres soon
