Well, I assume this isn't real, but.. I'd want to know the actual number - how much more (than in the demo) work'd we need to do (energy to produce) to actually power a CPU/GPU which could use real small on-device models..

I really want to know, no matter how big that number unfortunately is.

I love this idea but for gamers who need an incentive to workout. You can only game on power you generated with your own muscles.

I watched the "is this real" video and I'm still* not sure if it's real lol.

Regardless of this website presentation, the idea is sound and I'm behind it. We need to stop giving everything away to a hyper concentrated group of wealthy super elites that do not have our best interests at heart. We already have disappointing politicians that are elected. Now we also have disappointing unelected rich decision makers altering our lives based on what bar they had their next back of napkin scheme at.

Now we know why everyone was generating power on bikes in “Fifteen Million Merits”

Slavery with extra steps? Are we trying to power some douche-bag scientist's car battery?

In the future, humans will just all be on hamster wheels generating power for our AI overlords.
