Believe it or not, the GPUs from bitcoin farms are often the most reliable.
Since they were run 24/7, there was rarely the kind of heat stress that kills cards (heating and cooling cycles).
Could AI providers follow the same strategy? Just throw any spare inference capacity at something to make sure the GPUs are running 24/7, whether that's model training, crypto mining, protein folding, a "spot market" for non-time-sensitive/async inference workloads, or something else entirely.
