The sun gives us free energy. Is he aware of that?

Not efficiently and not as reliably as a nuclear reactor though. It would if they built a space station in an orbit with minimal other objects getting in the way of it and the sun. Teach the ai in between Sol and Venus and bring it back if it discovers anything useful rather than making revenge porn and plagiarizing artists

The sun is a fusion reactor.

That is way too hot and uncontrollable for our current tech to tap into. Solar panels are the best we can do for now until we figure out Dyson spheres
