404 Media develops a skeptical take on an unhinged conference presentation.

TLDR: IAEA appears to be cooked. Peak lunacy is on display.

The comments are full of quality sneers.

Edit: The whole presentation feels like the product of an extended manic episode, it's comoleyely ungrounded from the realities of operating a commercial nuclear power plant.

    not really a “human supremacy” issue at hand here. If you don’t know about AI safety/alignment you should probably do some lurking
