That’s not just engineering but also product and support. But yes, each one of those tasks are already on their way to being possible today, and agentic planning and coordination could make it feasible in much less time than you think. Until we get AGI /ASI it’ll need some human supervision, but not a lot more than that.

That was my first though also, but then I realized in that timespan the coding assistants will be able to replace the senior engineers as well. If not earlier.

And it tries to paint it as bad for the environment in this paragraph:

But the mining, milling, and production of nuclear fuel, as well as the construction and decommissioning of nuclear plants, emit greenhouse gases at levels ranging from 10 to 130 grams of carbon dioxide per kilowatt hour of power — lower than fossil fuels but higher than wind and hydroelectricity (and roughly on par with solar).

So… It’s good then?
