Why is is Bitcoin mining mainly happening in China, but not other compute bound tasks?
How about machine learning. Why aren't the leading data centers for ML based in China?
Or are they?
And on the energy front - if fossil fuels are the best energy source for calculating hashes, why not for other types of number crunching?
Can boycotting one type of calculations really keep the fossil fuels under the ground? If they are useful to power computations - won't they be used for some kind of computations anyhow?
