How Bitcoin's Halving Could Boost the AI Business

On the horizon is a preordained event that will change the business of Bitcoin forever. It’s called The Halving, and once it occurs the potential balance sheet of every Bitcoin miner is cut in half. Companies are doing everything they can to prepare for it, including moving away from crypto and in some cases into an even newer field: artificial intelligence.

So the end of the video they say that the requirements for AI are completely different from crypto mining. Thanks guys.

[@yousefshnaiwer6936]

But using the older equipment no longer in use for crypto mining, you can build very powerful AI machines. This was the whole point of the video, wasn't it?

Bitcoin ≠ Crypto

[@davidmella1174]

@@yousefshnaiwer6936 bitcoin miners are highly specialized and can't do anything else besides mine. Once the profit for the rate at which they mine new bitcoin per unit of power drops below the cost of that power, the machine runs at a net loss.

[@djgodigod]

@@yousefshnaiwer6936 No, the video specifically says that the mining machines can not be repurposed for anything. The only "advantage" the mining CEO claims is knowing how to select and set up server locations which is zero advantage.

[@yousefshnaiwer6936]

@@djgodigod I agree with you that is what he claims. I just do not see (and it is not stated clearly in the video) why these machines cannot be repurposed. Especially that the data miners need to change their equipment much faster now, the older machines have not been exhausted by data mining yet when they are replaced. Is this related to how they are programmed and/or connected?

AI is 100x harder than bitcoin mining, its not just compute power left over from bitcoin and the machines used to run AI models are not the same as the bitcoin mining rigs, it more complex and there is not guaranteed return like bitcoin. Its like a Textile or a Candy factory trying to repurpose their machine to start manufacturing vehicles.

[@michaelpapadopoulos6054]

THANK YOU! What would be revolutionary would be a way to use ai training as the proof of work for a cryptocurrency. a way to have a quick enough blockchain, in the order of 1 block minted per second minimum where the work is also useful vector arithmetic chunks for ai training. One could pay in crypto to have his neural network trained by the miners giving the currency a reason for existing and reducing the carbon footprint to zero since the work done is not wasted.

[@davidmella1174]

@@michaelpapadopoulos6054 there's literally no point. It would be more efficient if a centralized source did all those computations if you paid them.

[@jonathanodude6660]

Pay attention to what the people involved are saying. the crypto miners are not in the business of AI model training, theyre selling their old capacity to established AI companies or acting as a middleman between serverfarms and AI companies. there were 0 businesses in this video which were both mining crypto and also working on their own AI.

[@wffff2]

"Textile or a Candy factory trying to repurpose their machine to start manufacturing vehicles" Sweet, why not? they both involve machines that spin. I see that they have a lot in common. LLM's inference is essentially many TFLOPS of multiplications. Doing terahash requires even more steps.
