Not 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.

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.
1HP sustained is not insane for a horse. A human OTOH is a very different matter.

#44My 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…
Soon enough we will see rowing machines rated in max TFLOPS.

#46The promo video is highly unrealistic.
No way there are still so many human devs in the office.

#47I can do high level thinking for around 6 hours with just two scrambled eggs and a cup of coffee.
What I need is something to prevent me from context drift. /starts googling how many scrambled eggs are equivalent to the energy consumed by a data center. Google how many chickens are in the world.../

#48The webpage linked is an example of everything I wish people would stop doing in web design.
Fortunately, at the bottom there is a link to the "technical documentation" (https://squeezlabs.github.io/handcrank/) which is vastly improved (aside from being light-mode-only and linked from a dark-mode-only marketing page). It also gives me much more interesting information (specifically: models that can apparently run acceptably on a Pi 5).
Please let me read your content with a scrollbar that works the way scroll bars are supposed to, rather than turning everything into a weird slide show where you don't actually know when the next slide is coming. Please let me just click on buttons that look like links to more information, without JavaScript.

1HP is actually ~5 horses. There was a test trying to measure it.

The Concept2 rowing machines can power itself using the power you generate by rowing, so we're partly there.
