> no humans - no need for computation.

I would disagree with this statement. I have a pet AI program which can get some work done and gain some cryptocurrencies for that and pay for its hosting for keep doing that work. I am sure the AI will overlive all the humans and it really needs some computations for living.

I disagree with your disagreement.

Why do humans need/invent computation, hosting, cryptocurrencies and AI?

I can’t fathom any data center remaining online for more than a few weeks/months if all humans keeping it running magically disappeared.

Because they use to have some spare time?

That few weeks my pet AI will be refusing your statement that no human means no need for computations.

Then step aside and take a vow of silence.

Let me speak with your AI. Let it refute me by telling me about it’s needs.

Queue excuses…
