A disconnect with reality in the tech space

For awhile now prices have been going up and a demand for more power efficient electronics has been more and more prevalent. Then you also have places already asking people to reduce their demand on the power grid.

Meanwhile you have crypto which is probably the most inefficient use of tech in decades, and you have Nvidia announcing GPUs where you will need 1 KW just to power the GPU, not even the whole computer. Oh and it will be north of 1000 USD because that is apparently the new norm.

I think you are missing the pay-back advantage for that additional power. It's like how you bad-mouthed the James Webb telescope. You just don't understand how technology works is my guess.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I'm a technology journalist and analyst of sorts. I would say I know a thing or two about technology.

That so-called astronomer was also some random person on the Internet who expressed a lot of professional jealousy, if you ask me while I brought facts, figures, and genuine passion and intellectual curiosity to the table. I'm not one to talk about all my attributes, but she really had nothing but hurt feelings to offer. And, she never apologised or came back to say she was wrong.

"Mining" crypto is quite perverse

Meanwhile the main concern of the Musks of the world is spreading the virus of human to as many planets as possible, before we even fix this one
