It may very well be renewable. I'm really more referring to the inefficient way in which the sums are calculated. Those data centers get warmish.

I'm more engaged in a chat gpt session that I am staying up till 4 am watching line graphs of crypto prices, guilty as charged 😁. Not sure what comment it makes about society other than "we seem pretty lonely, everything ok?"
