50000 year gulag for google employees NOW
you’ll get mad at me for saying this…but cloud gaming is so obviously more economically efficient than physical hardware I think it’s going to be the default soon.
your home console / pc is idle 90%+ of the day. meanwhile, data centers targets what, 5%, maybe at worst 10% idle.
every second a cloud gamer isn’t gaming, that hardware is being used for someone else, training, etc.
I think there should be a new measurement, something like cost-per effective FLOP hour that takes into account the TCO + effective utilization.
If a gamer spends $500 on a GPU, uses it for 3 years, but it’s only fully active ~5% of that period…the cost-per relative FLOP hour is crazy high! Meanwhile, a $50,000 datacenter GPU might have a *LOWER* cost-per FLOP hour just because the effective utilization is 90+%.
This is the most retarded take I’ve ever seen on social media. Actual psychopath. Imagine being her co-worker, having to look at her without laughing would be impossible after this post. How could you take anything they say seriously on any topic going forward.

Guys I have a trillion dollar idea. First, we move all games to cloud streaming.
“But the data centers are far away, what about the latency?” well see here’s the genius part. We set up a tiny “edge datacenter” inside every subscriber’s house, maybe even as small as 1 GPU.
