Absolutely needed: to get high efficiency for this beast ⦠as it gets better, weāll become too dependent.
āall of this growth is for a new technology thatās still finding its footing, and in many applicationsāeducation, medical advice, legal analysisāmight be the wrong tool for the job,ā
Thatās not true if you were to use off-chain transactions (i.e. lightning network)
the ones that give up on all the ādesirableā aspects of cryptocurrencies? The payment isnāt final until it is on chain. You donāt need to trust anyone to figure out if youāre on the right chain in the first place. Off-chain shit defeats this. Whatās the point, other than dressing up the horse before beating it some more?
āThatās not trueā
āBut not true only if you use non-mainstream transaction method that was not part of the original design and is only supported by selected cryptos, meaning not universalā

I mean, donāt get me wrong, itās nice that things are improving, but itās safe to say that things will improve for AI too (energy-wise), hella lot of people now working on optimization and it looks very promising, even by just splitting large models into many smaller ones by topic
I just wanted to clarify the confusion that was in my head for a moment after going after the truth and fact checking. If I buy a pizza with Bitcoin and Lightning Network (which is the only one in use at most legal places), itās not like Iām using 1600 kWh⦠The original message is misleading in that regard⦠Practical and concrete reality are different. But theoretical, if that pizza wanted a normal transaction it would use such amount of energy and take days (thatās why they wouldnāt use that)⦠So⦠Thereās that.
Anyway, the dichotomy āAI or Cryptoā is false. I am not taking sides. But you do you, enjoy.
