Thermonuclear Takes: Teenage Fusion Cloudless Skies and a new AI

Hello, and welcome to this episode of Thermonuclear Takes - our
occasional bonus episodes that deal with topics in the news when
there's just TOO MUCH EXCITING STUFF out there to talk
about. 

This episode:


The teenager who built a nuclear fusion reactor in his
bedroom - should ITER give up and go home? (Spoiler: no.) 

A new study that suggests possible catastrophic climate
feedbacks at high temperatures has been published

OpenAI's new neural network is like nothing we've ever seen,
and can imitate human writing more convincingly than I'd thought
possible yet
