Silicon & Sparks: The Energy Cost of Crypto & AI (Part 1 of 2)

Welcome back, folks. This week, we’re plunging headfirst into the digital abyss. We’re exploring two of the most powerful and perplexing technologies of our time: the seemingly unstoppable rise of cryptocurrency and the paradigm-shifting potential of artificial intelligence.

Are these forces of innovation our inevitable salvation, or are they setting the stage for a global disaster? We’re going to pull back the curtain on what they actually are, dissect their mind-boggling energy consumption, and ask the million-dollar question: Could this entire mess spark a new energy revolution, or are we just creating a really confident-sounding technocracy?

Join your co-hosts, Joshua and Will, as they unravel the complex relationship between code, energy, and the future. We promise not to think for you, but we will give you the tools you need to reach your own conclusions.
