the fact i see no one talk about how “bitcoin is bad for the environment” anymore because no one can ethically say that while AI is fucking up our shit so bad
closest i’ve seen is people argue that a data center would be more *profitable* used for ai rather than mining, but nobody acknowledges the fact that you can interrupt miners any time and they’ll be fine, whereas you pull the plug on someone’s ai they would lose their minds, let alone go down the highly optimistic Bitcojn energy rabbit hole
