Effective Acceleration.

First, le crypto coins, then le LLM/'AI' (*spits*).

Insanely pointless energy IO WITHOUT ANY VALUE AND ADDED VALUE WHATSOEVER.

Congratulations, general, Ponzi has grown fatter, the imbalance is more irrational than ever, more useless people have created gigatons of utterly useless and not even entertaining content, even more bullshit behaviors and thinking patterns were reinforced in children and all other consumers as well.

You can be proud. Weakest wealthiest of the species and most cognitively lame leadershit ever!

Honestly, the scale of AI makes a lot more sense to me than the scale of DeFi or even the scale of some database systems. AI is simple - you have a unit of hardware that can perform a desirable form of computation. Scaling it up is a matter of creating parallel systems and upgrading to faster hardware when it's made available.

By comparison, I've seen six-figure monthly cloud spend at traditional startups and had genuinely no idea where the bulk of expenses were going even when I was looking right at the AWS dashboard.
