Bitcoin mining doesn’t normally use GPUs. They use dedicated ASICs. Far more effective, and cheaper in every way.
In addition, AI is in the “growth at any cost” phase. There is a TON of investor money to burn, with little need to show future profitability.

If that’s the case, why don’t they pull the Renaissance artist scam and just take a bunch of money and swear they’re working on stuff? If they don’t have to prove anything, why use any energy at all?

Little need, but not no need. They need to have a vague path, and something to show for it.

A vague path and something to show for it means using a bunch of energy for something they’re not even really doing…?
