Idle home devices — consoles and M1 Macs — are untapped compute
Greg Osuri: Web2 underutilizes compute resources & protocols like #Akash correct these. #shorts (Web3 Working Group)
“Just look at the compute that we have unused in our homes. I have a PlayStation and Xbox right behind me that’s just sitting there — I probably use it once or twice a year — but just sitting there with powerful GPUs. And the computers — your Macs have M1 chips, which are very powerful GPUs, that are not used in the night… but you’re paying cooling for it. So there’s a lot of underutilized resources that are spread globally that is using enormous amounts of energy that needs to be fixed.” — 00:00:00
