“There are many stumbling blocks on the racetrack to nuclear fusion, the reaction at the core of the sun that combines atoms to make energy: Generating more energy than it takes to power the reactors, developing reactor-proof building materials, keeping the reactor free from impurities, and restraining that fuel within it, to name a few. 

Now, researchers from Princeton University and its Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory have developed an AI model that could solve that last problem. This model predicts, and then figures out how to avoid, plasma becoming unstable and escaping the strong magnetic fields that hold it inside certain donut-shaped reactors” – in Vice’s Motherboard section.

The complete scientific is available in Nature.

… out of control.

Short version: “following Altman’s dramatic departure from OpenAI Friday. Meanwhile, OpenAI’s president and three senior researchers have resigned.”
