    It better include more than the cost of power to run them. I don't get why big tech is thinking idle hardware is so bad. Wear and tear exists, the more they're used at 100%, the shorter the lifespan. It's crazy Sam Altman wanted to shame people for owning something and taking care of it instead of being 100% "efficient".

    Using idle compute has a lot of prior art.

    Baffling what is worth a patent(=monopoly) today. How in the world does that even raise the bar in any innovative way?

    Just seems to be enough to have a lot of money and lazy patent offices.
