I like this explanation[1]: We live in a simulation where crypto became popular. All those hash function evaluations can't be approximated by the simulation engine, unlike most other natural phenomena, and so our reality uses up more compute than it was allocated. The renderer compensates by removing the most distant objects. It's a cosmic renice. [1] https://blog.fefe.de/?ts=a308f88d https://blog.fefe.de/?ts=a308f88d
