Re:AI GPU Bottleneck Has Eased, but Now Power Will Constrain...

who gets to decide what use of energy is providing sufficient value?
Just sticking to GPUs.. you see PoW block chains and LLMs as a waste, but is it any less wasteful to use the same GPUs at the same power draw to run a game at uncapped fps? or at whatever absurd resolution it takes to max it out?
Id rather we just charge for the energy usage, probably with some kind of tiering, and let people decide if their output is worth it.
