Did you know that the software suite, the client end of the system sold to both police and militaries, to feed them realtime 'battlespace' info...
You know its literally called GOTHAM, right?
Like, as in the system that Lucius Fox destroys, after Batman uses it, the single time, to find the Joker, because it is such an enormous moral atrocity?
I'm pretty sure it was never named in Nolan's movies other than "sonar device" and a similar device exists in the comics but it's called Echo and that's post Nolan's movie.
Is there actually a source for this? It doesn't seem unbelievable in this day and age but there's a wide gap between supplying plutonium for tech startup power (as in electricity) fantasies, which they've openly talked about, and letting Palmer Lucky build nuclear-armed drones.
Even if it was weapons, it wouldn't be anything really new. Private enterprise has always been there, only now the climate is just one that these people are unlikely to see any meaningful oversight.
But yeah, it's literally so Sam Altman can sell power to himself.

Hmm I think I saw this on the Fallout tv show

This is why we don't see new 007 films. We know how the nukes get into the hands of the eccentric billionaires. Spies are obsolete.

Gotham is also just another name for NYC.

IIRC the movie uses sonar as an analogy, not the literal mechanism.
... the ... analagous literal mechanism would now be how WiFi itself can be used to map environments and movement within them, kinda like sonar.

Nah. You think new spy tech gets released in a movie? You saw Taken 3 and thought that shit was real (honestly haven't seen any taken movies)

So far, there isn't. Trump has made bad deals with Epstein-connected private nuclear plant corps and that's about it.

I might be mistaken, but I think the intention is to provide fisile material for small form-factor reactors for data centers.

Why would they want weapons grade for that? Nuclear power usually uses low enriched

They are just making sure there are nuclear weapons accessible to them if the people try to vote them out of power.

So where do I get in on this? I want to be the wacko with a small nuclear reactor powering my house.

They gave nuclear tech to Ricky from Trailer Park Boys

Government isn't free market by definition.
And BTW Kodak got it first (weapons grade enriched uranium in their case)
