On: GPUs Go Brrr

[kkielhofner]

I watched the switch to proof of stake on the nodes I had at the time. I’m well aware.

I wasn’t talking about the applicability of GPUs for crypto, I was talking about adoption and real world utility.

GPUs in AI provide far more value and utility than crypto ever has regardless of how/if it’s mined with them or not.

Two points:

1. GPUs for AI != GPUs for crypto. They are not the same systems. There is a tiny bit of overlap, but most people bought underpowered gpus that were focused on ROI. For example, you didn't need more than 8GB ram. You also didn't need ultrafast networking.

2. Value is subjective.
