A common HN bugbear is all the energy crypto wastes so it seems reasonable that AI energy usage would be of interest as well.
This is the part where people say Crypto is only for fraud, scams and just making money so it is different. I think AI will open all new avenues of fraud that will make the ransomware mess look pleasant in comparison. AI may destroy the very concepts of truth and trust even for those looking for it, and it ALSO will waste lots of energy doing it.
- andybak 3y agoAI will be a mixed bag. Crypto is probably a net negative. You obviously disagree but opening with "A common HN bugbear is all the energy crypto wastes" is no more disingenuous than my reply.
- jijijijij 3y ago> AI may destroy the very concepts of truth and trust Oh, hell nah! Dark visions: AI's mere application will be solving problems AI created in the first place - and, incidentally, the erosion of trust brought up a use case for crypto, at last. I will be in my hut eating moss.
