The author comes off as upset that GPU is planned to come to an effective end. GPU miners deserve nothing to avoid "carnage" (as the author puts it) and should have known the risk before creating a GPU shortage.
- mrandish 4y agoYeah, I too have zero sympathy for GPU miners. They deserve to drown in their increasingly worthless GPUs.
- sterlind 4y agoI'm licking my lips at the prospect of putting together an ML rig from all the RTX 3090s hitting the market.

- darthrupert 4y agoAs if ML applications were ethically sounder than PoW coins...
- manarth 4y agoML for cancer-diagnosis of image-scans? Identification of endangered species? Translating dying languages? I get the point you're making, and would add that some ML applications bring tangible benefits to humanity which are proportionate to their energy consumption.
- popcorncowboy 4y agoThere's a token for that. /s
- darthrupert 4y agoYep they certainly do. I'm sure there are also some ethically sound blockchain implementations out there somewhere.
- jvanderbot 4y agoI'm skeptical. How? You'd need a "proof of ethics" and that seems technologically dubious. Or, you'd be using blockchain to create an ethical application, and whatever benefits are realized by the application are probably not best provided by blockchain. Using computing to compute meaningful data is directly justified or at least directly measurable.
