the nice thing about ai's energy usage is that no one complains about bitcoin's energy usage anymore. (i'm kidding, people still complain.)
DeepSeek would have to fully train a brand new V3 every week to approach the kinds of power consumption numbers that individual bitcoin mining facilities are doing.
The energy use from BTC is ludicrous.
(I'm assuming 155 TWh/yr for Bitcoin, using the low-end estimate from here: https://www.polytechnique-insights.com/en/columns/energy/bit... )
Maybe we should be thankful.
