Furnace suggests theres a goal in burning the money; incinerator suggests the goal is getting rid of the money.

Just incase anyones curious about technicalities.

I think furnace is the intent to create heat.

perhaps it is cold there and they are out of firewood.

Steam engines have furnace, so yeah, heat, but not _just_ heat. Like openai wouldn't claim they're just tyring to heat up the environment by building data centers.
