Mining: Would you repurpose an idle GPU mining rig for paid Ai inference?

Over the last few years, this topic has come up in light of Ai. Renting to Vast or Runpod isn’t necessarily easy. If you look at my comment history I have a 9y old post about mining on a gtx960 2 Gb, so no-slop. Just discussion, I don’t even have a link for you.

Ai is just text, and doesn’t necessarily take a ton of bandwidth, more than blockchain for sure but it isn’t video. It is known as distributed inference.

Would you guys use this?
