AI is asbestos in the walls of our tech society, stuffed there by monopolists run amok. A serious fight against it must strike at its roots

    don’t have video outputs and have an altered software stack to what’s used for gaming, missing all kinds of features and game specific patches.

    True about those without video outputs. But in Linux, game specific patches are in Mesa and not in the graphics drivers for example.

      Additionally, in windows (linux too?) one could use Moonlight / Sunshine to compute on the GPU and stream to secondary device (either directly, like say to a Chromecast, or via the iGPU to their monitor). Latency is quite small in most circumstances, and allows for some interesting tricks (eg: server GPUs allow you to split GPU into multiple “mini-gpus” - essentially, with the right card, you could host two+ entirely different, concurrent instances of GTA V on one machine, via one physical GPU).

      A bit hacky, but it works.

      Source: I bought a Tesla P4 for $100 and stuck it in a 1L case.

      GPU goes brrr
