Tbf altough I'm glad they saved the bees, they better start building nuclear plants somewhere else, before their fucking skyrocketing emissions kill our climate

2 wins, 1 loss

Saving the bees is nice, and it prevent meta to expand their ai for longer

But this means that it's one nuclear reactor less, and possibly dirtier energy is used

Pollination is great for food and all...

But wouldn't you rather have a billionaire build a nuclear reactor to maybe someday profit from an internet averaging machine?
