2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

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

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.
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.
