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


At low effort (i.e. active recovery can-do-this-all-day-every-day) levels, it's quite efficient. That assumes that you're fine with whatever let's say ~120w continuous can get you, which is what the m5 max 16'' mbp peaks at (in my case) during inference (ds4-flash)... so I guess it's quite usable, actually :)

Imagine the work(out)station of the future.

Yes, Fifteen million merits, one of my favorite episodes.


"What are we powering? Why are we powering it? For what?"


To generate pictures of cats driving trains and CRUD apps, apparently.
