> Crypto sucks energy and creates no value. It's complete and utter speculative garbage that also destroys the planet.

All of what you said is false.

Stablecoins are not speculative and have value, and you can send money at a low fee, low cost, worldwide to wallets on the same day, right now with far less energy than today's "AI".

> AI has real value.

What do you mean by "AI" specifically? LLMs in data centers?

The value in for this mysterious "AI" or even "AGI" paradise is not even for you. It is actually used against you.

> We can argue about whether the cost is worth the value, whether we're on an exponential improvement curve or not

You understand that the current iteration of "AI" needs tens of gigawatts of energy and hundreds of billions of dollars and wasteful amounts of water which causes electricity prices in certain cities to skyrocket?

The way that it is financed appears to be close to fraudulent with vague "commitments" and mountains of debt that would take almost a trillion dollars in revenue to pay off the data centre build out.

> whether it ends up creating jobs or destroying jobs, but AI is mind blowing science fiction that nobody would have believed you will exist 10 years ago.

Assuming after the data centers will be built (if they ever will be), can you name what are those new jobs that will be created from "AI"?
