its real, I tried it a couple of weeks ago, asked some questions and got answers - https://x.com/yaroslavvb/status/2062692318415867983
They need to tackle two American problems at once and turn it into an exercise bike!
Addressed in the video, but now looks like we've got three problems.
Re: CrankGPT
#93Not 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.
Well, the Matrix did this. Badly. "Machines who have developed nuclear power are using human bodies as batteries"-level badly.

#94I prefer the gooblebox over the flooblecrank design. It keeps my hands free for other activities.
Re: CrankGPT
#95ACTUALLY xD
Transferring power from gym bicycles is one of the smartest things. But they probably won’t even be enough for the AC to run - still a lot of power and heat lost.

I'm still sour they had only one toast in, in a two slot toaster
I've had the same thought and it's been a topic I've been this close to talking about at parties. If I did I'm sure I'd bore everyone to death. Considering the difficulty of sustaining 700 watts vs 350 watts, we could've had some very well-burnt toast if they uninstalled the heating coils for the 2nd piece of bread!

Re: CrankGPT
#97My 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…

It's the only unit that makes sense tbh

#98In the future, humans will just all be on hamster wheels generating power for our AI overlords.

This isn’t scroll hijacking You can scroll normally, with all your favorite keys, or go super fast to the bottom It’s just scroll animations. Bad ones, admittedly.
Just use your page_up/page_down keys, and you can skip all the stupid/excessive scrolling requirements.
Now that iPhone has switched to USB-C, I can plug in my Apple Extended Keyboard directly without needing a dongle. It’s like magic.

#100As a bit of an aside, I really like the idea of trying to design things with the constraint of it having to be able to run off a hand-crank.
I feel like it is not only an interesting engineering challenge but one that might lead to a more efficient and sustainable framing.
