As GPU Prices Rise, One User Proposes Training AI via Minecraft Redstone Computers
djcows · x · 2026-09-19
A cheeky proposal making the rounds: with GPU prices climbing, the incentive to hijack multiplayer game server compute grows. The idea — build Minecraft redstone matrix-multiplication machines on someone else's server to compute gradients for AI training, essentially free compute. It's a joke rather than a viable plan (redstone computing is absurdly inefficient), but it lands as satire on expensive AI hardware.
