> The key differentiator IMO with crypto is crypto by its nature has exponentially more computer resource requirement built into (most) of it. I don't know if AI does after a certain point, and I think there are enormous efficiency gains happening which simply doesn't happen in crypto (which you point out). This is wrong. Crypto does not need a massive amount of GPUs in a data-center to function and waste lots of resources unlike generative AI and deep learning which for any serious model to be used for inference; it needs tons of data centers and GPUs to serve millions. AI has always required hundreds of millions of dollars a year in inference costs alone as the data scales whilst also requiring lots of energy to output a working model including the risk of overfitting and garbage results.
