Just when you thought the dystopia couldn't dystopia any harder.

It's just a joke. Let's be clear.

Comic relief from the real dystopia. From my local paper (in New Hampshire) today:

"There are ... bills tied to energy production that Republicans hope will boost crypto here. One would define “off-grid electricity providers” as entities that generate, transmit or sell electricity but remain unconnected to any existing generation or transmission system.

If built, such providers would be exempted from most state utility regulations.

Another bill would permit electric utilities to own and operate “advanced nuclear resources” which can be used to power crypto-mining enterprises. The potential development timeline for any modular nuclear generators here remains entirely speculative, but projects in other states are expected by 2030."

I'm trying to imagine the future where our government promotes the development of private nuclear power plants for the sole purpose of doing pointless math in pursuit of money.

This sounds like an April fools prank! (No offence to anyone, I just found it funny)

This is really funny, I love it :-)

Why stop at bitcoin? This seems could be the next frontier of cloud computing. Finally, the pedants claiming that "Serverless" still needs servers can be satiated.
