Ml has real benefit crypto doesn't.
'Bitcoin alone is estimated to consume 127 terawatt-hours (TWh) a year — more than many countries, including Norway. In the United States, cryptocurrency activity is estimated to emit from 25 to 50 million tons of CO2 each year, '
Deep Learning on the other hand has NO known efficient alternative methods in training / fine-tuning and inference of their AI models today. All these models are complete black-boxes that require costly fine-tuning, retraining and can hallucinate on the slightest bad input. Once that happens, go through the same wasteful steps again.
> Ml has real benefit crypto doesn't.
AI bullshit generators, disinformation accelerants and the proliferation of deep fakes sure is a better use case than transparent transactions being viewed by anyone on a public chain making fraud harder to commit and easier for the authorities to trace up. /s
AI grifters will do anything to drive and burn the whole world to the ground for their so-called utopian AGI end-game nonsense to pretend about having 'real benefit' to everyone.
There is NOTHING connecting those two things.
Ml/agi is revolutionizing our society.
Crypto made a lot of people poorer...
All hype and hot air from the AI bros.
> Ml/agi is revolutionizing our society.
A 'revolution' in unchecked nonsense.
This sort of euphoria without any consideration of the downsides and regulations to even begin reasoning about this AGI fantasy that won't help anyone other than accelerating more bullshit, disinformation and deep-fakes.
Google is already working on green DC 24/7. Ms and was too.
Those companies have a lot of money and in comparison to crypto shit a real incentive to go green.
Deep learning on the other hand still has not found any better efficient alternatives or solutions to training, inferencing and fine-tuning their AI models like ChatGPT, or GPT-4 and caused excessive and unecessary emissions for decades. Now it is water that they are wasting.
Absolutely wasteful.
