Computational power has become new arms race. Keep it with the masses. Not just rich. Support distributive computing.

I already told you - a lot of problems need tight integration of compute elements and don't map well to a distributed computing processing model.

In a way, cloud computing is indeed very democratic. I could never access a supercomputer before, but now it's potentially within reach for me to rent a little time on one.

*Yawn*

So... how many Watts does it burn, at full load? I guess it might be interesting to know something about the pricing structure, as well.
That's a fair question. I just read a NY times and MIT article where AI is expected to exceed AC units as the largest single source requiring as much as 21 percent of the grid by 2030, which would likely be higher that projected EV consumption as well. Google AI/data centers already use more power than the country of Ireland.
