  • nfts are wasteful
  • your justification for ai not being a wasteful use of resources is that you personally use them
  • people still use nfts

But NFTs aren't wasteful. They're run on a proof-of-stake blockchain, no big computing power is used to back them. Your point about NFTs is false, I didn't mention NFTs in the first place, I don't see the relevance of any of this.

But NFTs aren't wasteful.

i feel this take is a pretty good justification not to care about your opinion on things

What exactly are they "wasting?" Ethereum switched to proof-of-stake on 15 September 2022. If you are still criticizing NFTs for their environmental impact you're a year and a half out of date.

"it's not wasteful because now they're only wasting less resources"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You didn't answer the question. What exactly are they wasting? And what does this have to do with AI at this point, anyway? You jumped in with this NFT thing and I still fail to see the relevance.
