Nearly nothing left unexploited in the pursuit of profits.

And there is no profit, too.

  • Its very depressing that we’re almost quite literally converting money into BTUs via GPUs and not even making a buck, meanwhile the ocean gets hotter

    • We finally reached critical mass on seeing money as an arbitrary construct, so now we're converting it into real, physics-based heat. Entropy at its finest.

    • I've been saying roughly the same thing about cryptocurrencies (just a good way to waste fuckhuge amounts of resources on digital tulips to enable crime) but it never seems to stop anyone from plowing ahead on being stupid.

    • This is precisely what soured me on crypto. It's a ridiculous waste, a circle jerk.
