Interesting angle here: Leopold Aschenbrenner (Ex-OpenAI) is apparently backing crypto miners not as a Bitcoin bet, but as an AI infrastructure play. Makes sense in a weird way. Miners already understand power contracts, large-scale facilities, cooling, uptime, and hardware-heavy operations. That skill set maps pretty naturally onto AI data centers, even if the economics are very different. Article: https://btcusa.com/leopold-aschenbrenner-crypto-miners-ai-infrastructure/ The bigger question is whether old crypto mining infrastructure can actually become useful AI infrastructure — or whether this is just another “pivot to AI” story with better branding. submitted by /u/Enough_Angle_7839
