Between AI and shitcoin mining, these two "technology branches" already consume more power than all the green power added to the grid combined.
It's why humans will always remain de facto slaves to a few masters. Anything that could potentially be advantageous to all life on Earth? Only if the ones at the top get to profit first. No profit? Enjoy scorching to death on hell-planet for the next forty years!
The difference is that the better shitcoins have been upgraded to be 99% more energy efficient.
But there's no foreseeable limit or escape from the waste of "AI".
Proof of Stake (PoS) is just dollar bonds without regulations. There's no "difficulty adjustment" to minimize profits, so inequality will just get worse and worse.
