Can you explain what you mean? As I understand it, BTC is tied solely to USD for exchange.

  i mean bitcoin mining locations is energy price dependent, and the same applies for AI which is very energy intensive too, and thus AI "wage" is going to be different across the world.

    Ah that's a very good point. Thank you!

    so - places where you can get away stealing electricity are going to have an edge. kinda like china with bitcoin mining...

    > same applies for AI which is very energy intensive too Training (building the model/AI) might be, inference (using the model to actually "run" the AI) is relatively cheap, I think. This may change with massive models, but I suspect power usage of the AI will not be a major concern for deciding where to put AI-operated factories.

      training once vs. millions of inferences. And tomorrow inference may naturally include incremental training. Human brain consumes 20% of the body energy. I don't think AI will come to human brain energy efficiency soon, and thus i think AI (and its accessories, ie. like 3d/AR/VR model spaces where and what AI will be operating with) will be a major, if not main, energy consumer going forward. When Google self-driving car passes by the main sound coming from it isn't the engine nor the tires :)
