What if BTC mining was never just about money? What if BTC was made to train AI?Proof-of-work forced the world to build massive, adversarial, energy-hungry compute networks-exactly what you’d need to train resilient AI at scale.Sometimes I wonder if Bitcoin wasn’t just made as a giant GPU trap - the perfect excuse to train AI under the radar?If Bitcoin had secretly been designed as an AI training scheme, the business model would actually make sense. Instead of paying massive centralized costs for supercomputing power, you create a financial incentive system that makes millions of people worldwide volunteer their hardware and electricity for you. The blockchain serves as the “cover story,” but the real product is the vast, distributed compute network.Without Bitcoin’s financial lure, almost nobody would have willingly contributed their GPUs or bought expensive mining rigs it would have been prohibitively costly to run that much compute under a traditional centralized AI project. But by framing it as a path to digital gold, the system crowdsourced what otherwise would have been the most expensive AI R&D project in history.
>>61561453(almost) no one reuses asic centers for ai centers
>>61561461what if they needed ALOT of computing power to train AI, not many would have contributed to train the system, instead of they invented "magic internet money" what you could "mine" with your computer! and pump it to the moon! while getting free computing power all around the globe.
>>61561453you'll keep copy-pasting this retarded thread and I'll keep telling you that bitcoin mining ASICs by design just run the SHA hash function and that's it
>>61561527Have you seen the circuits that do the SHA computation? How do you really know what the ASICs are doing? What if they are actually computing how much of a faggot OP is?
>>61561527thats what you've been told. who the fuck knows what it does in the end. it could've been training AI for the last 18yrs since btc was put online.
>>61561453bet this goes hard if youre retarded and don't understand anything about codehow much PMs do u own btw
>>61561701>early bitcoin mining did use GPU'syep. they made it to train AI at the beginning before there wasnt too man datacenters to train AI. and chatgpt isn't the whole truth, bitcoin mining has been useful to train AI atleast to the time before asics.
