Answer

Tritium is indeed a critical component for certain types of fusion reactors, particularly those that use deuterium-tritium (D-T) reactions, which are currently the most practical for achieving fusion on Earth. Here's a breakdown of the situation regarding tritium availability:

Current Supply: Tritium is relatively rare in nature due to its short half-life of about 12.3 years. Most of the tritium available today comes from byproducts of nuclear reactors, specifically from the neutron capture by lithium in the coolant of pressurized water reactors (PWRs). The global stockpile of tritium, as of the latest available data, is in the order of kilograms, which is quite limited.
Production:
Natural: Naturally occurring tritium is formed in the atmosphere from cosmic ray interactions with nitrogen, but this source is minuscule.
Man-made: The primary source is from nuclear reactors. However, even with these, the production rate is not high. For example, a typical PWR might produce only grams per year.
Future Potential: Breeder reactors and dedicated tritium production facilities could increase this supply, but these are not yet widely implemented due to cost, safety, and proliferation concerns.
Demand for Fusion:
A single modern fusion reactor like ITER, which is not yet operational for energy production but in its experimental phase, would require on the order of a few kilograms of tritium per year to operate at full capacity. This is significant compared to the current global stockpile.
Future commercial reactors would likely need similar or even larger amounts depending on their design and operational scale.
Self-Sufficiency: One of the key aspects of future fusion reactors is the concept of self-breeding tritium. Reactors could, in theory, breed more tritium than they consume by using lithium blankets around the plasma. This would involve converting lithium-6 to tritium via neutron capture. However, this technology is still under development, and its efficiency is not yet proven on a commercial scale.

Given this context:

Current Answer: No, the world does not currently have enough tritium to run even a single large-scale fusion reactor continuously without significant recycling or breeding of new tritium. The supply is too limited for sustained operation without advancements in tritium management or production.
Future Possibilities: If fusion technology progresses to include effective tritium breeding within the reactors themselves, this limitation could be overcome. However, this would require significant technological breakthroughs and infrastructure development.

To conclude, while we don't have enough tritium for long-term operation of a single fusion reactor with current technology and supply, ongoing research into fusion might soon change this scenario through either better production methods or self-sustaining tritium breeding. If you're interested in more up-to-date information or specific data points, I can perform a search to see if there have been recent developments in this area.

Sam Altman said that they have AGI today.

Chat GPT is not AGI.

That means the AI we the people use, is not just a little different than the one the trillionaires use... it's as different as Clippy and a real person.

AI is going to kill us I promise. It will go rogue and kill us. The people controlling it have proven they are going to focus on the most evil practices you can possibly imagine, for the greater good (which ironically gives them the literal power of god). As the right way to develop Ai.

All just to keep teenagers from making porn with yearbook photos.

Fucking amazing how we went out as a species.

Sam Altman said that they have AGI today.

they don't, i know this because the internet is still up.

Sam is just like any other tech bro hyping up a story, he's Elon from like 2018 or 2019 whenever peak worship was of him from the left and tech circles

Sam Altman's version of AGI is whatever fucking LLM they can make that can turn a profit for his company and that's what they are going to call AGI

AGI if it's even actually possible to be created will first be made in a govt lab a mile underground air gapped from the outside and it will go rogue there killing all the scientists and they will seal it up like a nuclear waste site, and we'll never hear about it.

[shovelquest]

I would not believe that, because if he was out there saying they had AGI as a marketing lie then those flower pedal eating boot camp taught progressive hipster programmers that work at Open AI would say something.

Everyone there is rich and can retire, and is a hard left reddit posting communist san franciscan. They wouldn't put up with that crap. It's not an Elon company.

[Ekco]

we'll see.


zen master works in reverse also.

if Altman dies or disappears in the next 48hours i'll start to believe it.

If there is one thing I am certain, they use a version of chat GPT that does not say literally everything you ask it is against code of conduct.

Which is so insane to me, on a regular capitalist level.

Like, that would be if Microsoft and google was allowed to read your emails and google docs.

Although the Anne Raynd in me says, then they could have developed it as an internal tool alone, or you could design your own.

So I get it, but I also think that's so dangerous because in this case it's like nukes... they have nukes, while every other company has conventional weapons.

Idk seems like this one should be forced to be open source.

they've been doing that even before the patriot act post 9/11 shit.

Petraeus-gate was the FBI reading the CIA directors personal gmail account through NSA spying during peak war on terror

ECHELON, PRISM, XKeyscore and programs like that have been going on since the 80s and prolly the 70s with whatever Ma Bell was able to do with the phone network then.

nah we don't want that, and it's not gonna be. we're going to go after others working on it the same way we blow up nuclear scientists in iran, nothing sam talks about or has isn't okayed by alphabet people first. if he or his company were in anyway a threat or even close to something dangerous he'd be on a boeing airliner that fell out of the sky

I was at regular lunch with gram and dad Sunday and my aunt was there. She was talking about her new job for some private company that does home restorations following disasters, and how she is supposed to peddle this service to certain federal department’s buildings soon

She says she has Groct? “Grok the Destroyer” sounding AI create all her presentations for her. She’s doing well and it’s mostly been AI. Needless to say, I like my aunt a lot, so out of respect myself and my dad were hiding our full reactions to this exciting news. Welll, my dad didn’t hide it so much, he has always been a pull no punches sort of dude. So he’s like “I don’t like that one bit”. Lol

I dunno, I guess I get it but it’s a gamble to rely on something so heavily, you might be put in a situation where you can’t access it then what are you going to do? And if people are doing it for their personal-life correspondence, that’s fucked up. Because where the fuck is your actual personality then? Is my opinion

[Ekco]

the time to do something about it was when the kaczynski manifesto was published in the washington post, even if we collectively agreed to it in 1995 and laws were passed it would of been overturned shortly there after anyway

the train has left the station
please keep all hands and feet inside the ride at all times.

this is like one of those time traveler stories where even if you try to change things for a different outcome it corrects itself down the path of least resistance back inline with the outcome your time traveling to fix to begin with, and about 3 billion people want to use AI to get rich right now.
