Honest question I don’t know how to consider: are we further along or behind with AI given crypto’s use of GPUs? Has the same cards bought for mining furthered AI, or maybe that demand lead to more research into GPUs and what they can do - or would we be further along if we weren’t wasting these cards on mining?

Ethereum's (thrice delayed) move to PoS put a glut of GPUs on the market, just in time for the AI boom to swallow them back up, so I think it ended up okay. NVDA certainly had a great few days in the market thanks to AI though.

Eth was mined mainly on consumer GPUs which as far as i understand, have too little VRAM for most AI training
