To the best of my knowledge, in 1898, uranium salts emitting 'X-rays' were the hottest thing going and Marie Curie was just presenting her discovery of thorium after refining tons of pitchblende. How could one even conceive of nuclear power plants at this point?
I think brazil is making an analogy between nuclear power and "godlike" AIs. Perhaps inappropriate for this forum, but comprehensible.
