minus-squareBuffalox@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15arrow-down1·1 year agoI don’t get why a train AI would need so much power, how hard is it to drive a train? Will the nuclear reactors be on the train with the AI, or will it be some sort of wired transfer?
minus-squarewishthane@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoI assume they can power the train AI by pantograph or third rail - no reason to have nuclear powered trains, this isn’t Factorio.
minus-squarebamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoIf your train has a bad conductor, it will require more power.
minus-squareBuffalox@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoYeah tell me about it, I only have bad conductors.

minus-squarepirat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoNot sure if you’re making fun or actually not understanding? To clarify, they need the power for training AI models. No trains are involved, neither passenger nor cargo – though atom powered trains sounds interesting as well!
