Someone at the It Could Happen Here podcast was making a prediction that someone at some point will make a big push for an “AI crypto”, which (under some pretext or another) you can only mine with AI datacenters. Because there’s like a real big amount of resources being burned on AI datacenters, and as the chatbots continue to fail to return anything at all on the massive investment, they’ll have to come up with a way to justify the datacentres’ existence at all. Maybe Yegge’s just ahead of the curve 🤷‍♀️
