Hopefully we can avoid a repeat of the cryptomining-GPU situation.

    We get over one bullshit situation with grifters trying to make a quick buck through a scam, only to land on another one. Absolutely amazing.

      At least AI companies are producing something that has some potential value (even if it is wildly over inflated) as opposed to the literal vapor ware we got with crypto

      Unfortunately it’s not a grift this time. The crypto bros finally moved on from Blockchain to actually useful tech.

    Well, the work AI companies are doing with these is more inherently useful, so that’s a benefit.

      Almost anything is better than just speculating while wasting power, but I’m not thrilled either if it’s for apps/spyware to deepfake and the like.
