⚡️🎮 NEW - Microsoft wants to let gamers rent out their unused GPUs to AI companies in exchange for credits that can potentially be converted into cash.
On paper, the idea is appealing. In practice, I’m much more skeptical.
We’re talking about running your graphics card even longer, probably to earn next to nothing, while accelerating its wear and tear over the long term.
I’m not convinced it’s worth the trouble. Would you do it?
