“On Tuesday, the US Department of Energy (DOE) launched an application for interested parties to apply for access to a maximum of 19 metric tonnes — a little under 42,000 pounds — of weapons-grade plutonium, which has long been a key resource undergirding the US nuclear arsenal.”
So this shit is going to disappear and for the entire rest of the time humanity lives, we will have to worry about people building mini nukes with this stolen material. It’s very hard to get it currently, but that much could make many bombs.
So officially it’s just ACCESS. You’re not carting it away without an escort or a clear idea of where it’s going, and it’s still technically controlled by the DOE. However, since the levers are all ripped off by the administration cutting everything to the bone and then some, this is effectively a cash injection to OpenAI by financing some terror organizations and rogue states.
Every time I see a headline like this I think, “He’s not really…fuck yes he is, it’s literally what he’s doing!”

Meanwhile, if Iran made 1kg of plutonium, they would be carpet bombed.
Plutonium is only useful for bombs.
naturally. Its like not buying your meth from El Padrino.

a bomb set off by Goldstein would help reinforce the government. I just saw this on the Fox Telescreen, superplusgood.
