The Airforce has flight simulators and other video games for which it must use GPUs. Additionally there are ML models to build and so on. Of the things I would predict, crypto mining would be the least of them.

My intention was to gently counter this statement. I took Fortnite as a proxy for video games and I meant to add to the conversation that it does use video games. For a while the military was even publishing video games.
- gambiting 4y agoOf course, but when you are disclosing your business activities, selling to the military is a pretty major thing to mention, no? You wouldn't just lump it all under "gaming", because your gpus might be used to play video games.
