Blockchain mining, completely open source and run on local GPUs, is no worse for the environment than gaming via this logic. I think that’s easily disprovable.
Not yet, not for some time, and certainly not at single local GPU running at minimal use. Both you and the commenter I was responding to seem to forget how massive the @home projects were.
For simply productivity like Copilot or Text Gen like ChatGPT.
It absolutely is doable on a local GPU.
Source: I do it.
Sure I can’t do auto running simulations to find new drugs and protein sequencing or whatever. But it helps me code. It helps me digest software manuals. That’s honestly all I want
Also, massive compute projects for the @home project are good?
Local LLMs runs fine on a 5 year old GPU, a 3060 12 gig. I am getting performance on par with cloud ran models. I’m upgrading to a 5060ti just because I wanted to play with image Gen.

except Blockchain mining has no practical use that can’t be solved using simpler tech, AI does have those applications
