HN 读者请注意：Pearl 的“有用”工作量证明 AI 挖矿是空中楼阁
2 分•作者: secondary_op•25 天前
各位朋友，为了通过愚蠢和贪婪进一步推高显卡价格，似乎某些实体正试图重燃显卡挖矿热潮。他们试图通过人工智能计算来重塑工作量证明（PoW），使其变得有用，但结果似乎只是骗人的把戏和虚无缥缈的产品。
有间接证据表明，NVIDIA 和 Together AI 等公司或多或少地在幕后操纵。
Together AI 在自己的显卡上运行大型语言模型推理。Together AI 从 $PRL (Pearl) 的利润中补贴这项推理，但 Pearl 网络中的显卡矿工并没有进行实际的推理。他们只是披着人工智能外衣运行无用的工作量证明。所谓的“有用”只是骗人的把戏，但更多的计算浪费、更多的贪婪和更高的价格却是非常真实的。

Hi folks, to further inflate GPU prices through stupidity and greed, it seems that right now certain entities are trying to resurrect the GPU mining craze. They are trying to reinvent PoW as something useful through AI compute, but it seems that what they ended up with is just snake oil and vaporware.<p>There is circumstantial evidence that, among others, NVIDIA and Together AI are behind it in one way or another.<p>Together AI hosts LLM inference on their own GPUs. Together AI subsidizes this inference from the profits of $PRL (Pearl), but miners with their GPUs in the Pearl network are not running actual inference. They are running useless PoW in an AI trench coat. "Useful" is snake oil, but more wasted compute, more greed, and higher prices are very real.
