Fair point on counter arguments, will look for those for a follow-up post!

On the resources I avoid adding too much cause I feel it’s too “heavy” but I have 2 key ones I have listened to that I would recommend:

1. The podcast I linked, the interviewed is the chief of the lab that reached fusion ignition. And she had a lot of super interesting takes on AI and fusion: https://podcasts.apple.com/it/podcast/possible/id1677184070?i=1000605312353

2. This interview of Sam Altman talking about Helion and why he decided to invest $375M of his money: https://youtu.be/57OU18cogJI

Great article, giving visibility on a very promising technology! In these gloomy days, some positive perspectives are needed. I am only left wondering if there are counter arguments - beyond the tech challenges - against fusion and the infinite abundance of cheap energy. Also, would be cool to have some more links/resources, to go deeper into some of the concepts that are only lightly referenced (e.g. how AI can accelerate fusion development). Thanks!
