I ask specifically because, well, data center stuff is a hot topic and I'm wondering where MJ stands on it, because I'm wondering if the factors with how it works might make it different from the bad actors in that space.
And I mean this in good faith, because from what I know MJ is specialized whereas a lot of AI ends up requiring so much water/energy/land/training due to the fool's errand of producing "AGI."
Giovanh has a great two-part article on this, and I'll note that their "AI doesn't have to be a water/energy hog in the training" thing was written before Deepseek proved them right. And of the bad actors I hear about specifically poisoning communities with data centers, MJ doesn't seem to come up.
Given that they're not dependent on bullshit lies but rather a product people like with a simple subscription and are apparently one of the only companies in the space turning a profit, I was wondering if their operations and scale look different, and if so how?
