Billionaire Peter Thiel backing first privately developed US uranium enrichment facility in Paducah
Oh a private nuclear weapon? Owned by Peter “humanity shouldn’t survive” Theil?
Sure. Of course.
To power his fascist takeover
Sounds like a national security threat to be honest.
How is that legal?
He owns the vice president. That's how.
Why wouldn't it be? Everyone here assumes he going to try for weapon's grade material. Think any government would allow competition in that space?
In any case, there's a shitload of tech and tooling that goes into a multi-stage thermonuclear weapon. I think they'd notice him sneaking all that into the plant.
Make nukes or improve nuclear energy? or both?
Probably for nuclear power for ai
Energy, presumably to power AI.
Wait, the hyper-libertarian technocrat who supports authoritarian independent tech billionaire owned/run “utopias” suddenly needs a private nuclear enrichment facility… the guy who wasn’t sure the “human race should endure” …that guy?
I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about.
The article doesn’t make it clear what their goal is. Nuclear power plants only require enrichment to about 5% uranium-235. Nuclear weapons require in excess of 90%. So my guess is this would be strictly limited to the former.
Oh, your guess, huh? Better assume honesty and give the benefit of the doubt to technofascists.
lol this is how you get those movie plots about random guys getting their hands on nukes.
