Yes. That is actually very close to what I had in mind. A distributed system where people contribute some of their own computer power to a shared AI workload. Your point about heat is interesting too. A data center produces a huge amount of heat and most people never get any direct benefit from it. If my own PC is doing useful AI work and also warming my room then at least part of that energy is doing two jobs. The difficult part is probably how to distribute the workload efficiently between thousands of different computers. But the idea still feels worth exploring.
