    the crypto scam ended when the AI scam started. AI conveniently uses the same/similar hardware that crypto used before the bubble burst.

    that not enough? take a look at this google trends that shows when interest in crypto died AI took off.

      Hold the phone, I found two things that are even more closely related

      The fact that they both use the GPU is mildly interesting, but means nothing beyond conspiracy theories. These events were set in motion decades ago, it’s not like AI was invented because Crypto died.
