brsrklf comments on Firm that lets you rent out your idle Mac for AI inference workloads warns of plummeting token costs — Darkbloom network sees earnings drop to $1.23 a day as Anthropic tokens fall 77%.

What is? The suspicion that one is the only one that does a thing? That would explain why everyone around here says they're autistic. Never seen that on any other platform and I'm really interested in why.

The world works in more absolute terms for the autistic brain.

What do you mean "used to"? BOINC still runs on my machine.

Alphafold was definitely a better era for intentional AI use, assuming that's the kind of thing you mean.

Was folding@home at idk 16 on ps3 Linux (did it require ps3 Linux?).

Sadly, I was just one more outsid otherwise-idle ps3. Luckily, Wall Street has also been devoting all their dollars, ever since then, on .. checks notes.. Uber/Amazon/fracking/shitcoins/AI-race-to-hopeful-monopolization

We’ll run our own models and it will be glorious. We’ll also solve our own problems, like proteins mis-folding, and those leeches on Wall Street, they’ll just keep slowing the rest of us down.
