Re: CrankGPT
#33My partner just got a rowing machine that offered "watts" as a unit of how hard you're going (like "calories" or "mph") and got me wondering if they made rowing machines that could slowly charge a battery, and how much I'd need to row to power one of them fancy newfangled M5 Max MacBooks answering prompts. All that to say, CrankGPT, I am your target demographic and if you don't respond to my request for a demo I'll b…

Isn’t that a black mirror episode? Anyways, much like the Matrix, using humans for energy is insanely inefficient.

A fairly untrained cyclist is usually able to maintain 200W, so yes this is definitely possible
My best is 980W - for 1 second

#36I love this idea but for gamers who need an incentive to workout. You can only game on power you generated with your own muscles.

For reference, this is what 700W cycling looks like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4O5voOCqAQ
1hp/750W or so sustained is insane power for all but a few and that is still for relatively short time periods.
Re: CrankGPT
#38Not sure it's possible to say this without being pithy, but haven't there been stories told, perhaps TV episodes and films made, regarding the concept of using human bodies to generate power in support of machine intelligence?
Seems a little on the nose to me, but I guess some days it's hard to tell what's a gag and what's a legit pitch.

#39I bet if you took one of Taalas' cards which consumes 200 watts for 14,000 tokens/second [0] and slowed it down by a factor of 10, it would actually be quite reasonable to power by bicycle.

I can do 300W for 30mins - does that mean I can barely heat up a Pop-Tart?
