We already know Proof-of-Work (PoW) is wasteful and that is outside of my point. My point is, crypto already has greener alternatives to PoW available today and a former PoW blockchain was able to switch to a greener alternative, proof-of-stake, making that a known possibility.

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.
