I don’t see how AI helps with crypto mining. It could help with pump and dumping shit coins though.
Comment on We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.

I was thinking how it probably helps by getting into nanoseconds with buying and selling stocks. I have found that there are very few coincidences with huge technologies, tons of cash pouring in and dark money. I could be wrong though.

Trading has nothing to do with cryptocurrency mining. Also, any high-frequency trading firm worth their salt is using FPGAs for the things where performance really counts.

As for OpenAI and Microsoft, they’re betting on energy with a company called Helion Energy. They say they’ll have it ready by 2028. Whether they’ll achieve that? We’ll see.

I looked that up and it’s a fusion reactor, apparently, from what I can figure out from their nigh-illegible website.

It skips the steam cycle. That’s fucking cool. I really hope they get it working.
