Tell me about it. The company I work for uses tons of video cards to run ML models for online advertising/customer profiling/etc..., and it's gotten noticibly more expensive thanks to crypto miners.
And I would far rather those video cards be used by crypto miners than online profiling and advertising assholes like your company.
You and GP don't get to decide what is a "legitimate" use for a GPU. All the outrage that other people want GPUs for purposes you disagree with and entitlement that only some users really deserve to have access to them is just ridiculous.
I was actually being sarcastic. I own crypto and agree that it's hypocritical to rate some unnecessary uses of power/video cards as better than others.
I do work for a Big-N, so the first part of the comment is true.
