AI Eats Crypto?! You Won’t Believe What’s Trending! 🤯

by

Well, crikey! It seems even the digital denizens of social media, those folks usually obsessed with crypto-whatevers, are now yakking incessantly about artificial intelligence. According to some brainy types at Santiment, a blockchain intelligence firm – sounds terribly important, doesn’t it? – the online chatter has taken a decidedly AI-flavored turn. Apparently, crypto is so last week. 🙄

Between May 29th and June 5th, Santiment’s “Alpha Narratives dashboard” (which, let’s be honest, sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi flick) recorded a veritable explosion of AI-related discussions. They’re blathering on about job losses, autonomous agents (whatever those are), and decentralized AI infrastructure. Honestly, it’s enough to make your head spin faster than a politician caught in a lie. 🤥

AI Discourse (or, Why We’re All Doomed… Maybe)

The digital peanut gallery is apparently debating the pros and cons, weighing the potential for job displacement against the promise of increased productivity. You know, the usual doom and gloom versus utopian fantasy stuff. But it’s not all just philosophical navel-gazing; there’s actual industry activity! Companies with names like Kite AI and the 0G Foundation (sounds like a bad sci-fi novel, doesn’t it?) are fueling the development. The 0G Foundation even launched an \$88.88 million fund. Why that specific number? Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe they just like the way it looks. 🤷‍♂️

On the investor side, some bigwigs like James Wynn and a company called Strategy (very original, guys) are throwing money around, sparking renewed market confidence. Meanwhile, Solana, Loud Token, and various meme coins are enjoying a surge in social engagement. Because, you know, nothing says “serious investment” like a meme coin. 🤪

Santiment also noted that the conversations have even touched on AI’s role in daily life, from driving to debugging code. So, basically, AI is taking over everything. Just like the movies warned us. 😨

AI Integration Accelerates (or, The Robots Are Coming!)

This sudden obsession with AI comes at a time when crypto users are apparently feeling quite comfortable handing over their hard-earned (or, more likely, easily-gained-and-lost) digital fortunes to AI. A CoinGecko survey found that a majority are willing to let AI agents manage their investment portfolios. What could possibly go wrong? 💸

Even the crypto mining sector is jumping on the AI bandwagon. Riot Platforms, for example, appointed three new directors to its board, including one with experience in repurposing Bitcoin mining equipment for high-performance computing. Because apparently, mining Bitcoin wasn’t pointless enough. Other mining firms are also pivoting towards AI workloads. It’s like watching a bunch of lemmings run off a cliff, only with more expensive equipment. 🐑

And just to add fuel to the fire, Amazon announced a \$20 billion investment to build two AI-driven data centers in Pennsylvania. Salem Township and Falls Township are apparently the frontrunners. The project will also include educational and workforce training initiatives in cloud computing. So, at least someone will be getting a job out of this whole AI takeover. Probably teaching robots how to take over the world more efficiently. 🤖
