i don’t think that’s true, they’re gpus not car engines :p

afaik graphics cards don’t mind if they run full tilt, same as ethereum and before that bitcoin mining, the issue is to do with heat and cold

turning your computer on and off is worse for it than running all the time at a steady temperature

Well, you know i'm not in the know on this stuff, so i won't cleave to the position too hard. Apparently their use in the AI environment is notably heavier from their normal use cases, so it wears them out far more quickly.

I'm a little too busy to have a detailed look atm though sorry, maybe jump on to Ed Zitron's wheres your ed at page if you have time. He might have something written up about it there. I remember hearing it on his podcast.
