Bad idea: since there's a mechanical limit to how much you can cool down a CPU, design a motherboard with a rotary barrel.

While one CPU is used, the other five can be cooling down!

@foone Don't even need that. Some of your limits are on die so you can have multiple instances of a component on the die and cycle them. Whether anyone does I don't know but it would not surprise me.

You can also move jobs between cores on a CPU today for thermal reasons based upon what is throttling although usually you obviously pack to maximise idle cores and power saving.

Can't believe they spent a gigawatt training GPT3 and the fucker isn't even trying to overthrow humanity.

Look, where I come from, if you burn a gigawatt of energy to make an AI, it had better damn well go skynet on you.

@foone They spent a gigawatt hour training a computer to emulate a typical large consultancy business. Would have been easier just to buy part of a big consulting business.
