But why? I want cheap tokens. Build a data center on every block (or more realistically in all the empty space we have everywhere).

Unironic Paperclip Maximalism. Huh.

I propose that you don’t actually want cheap tokens. You want cheap tokens in service of some other goals. Are they worth the environmental cost?

Yeah, I imagine most computer systems will just talk to each other fuzzily. Millions of tokens/s real time, dirt cheap, working on loops, solving problems.

They don’t have to be bad for the environment. We can mandate that all new data centers be entirely solar+battery powered.

dyauspitr, please respond. I'm trying to contact you about building a data center next to your home, or in your basement, or in your closet. I'll set it up for you. Please respond.

Gladly. I’ll give you an acre if you pay me for the land.

So start building. Too lazy?

Your backyard first.

Have you read Don Quixote?
