    It’s absolutely in the dictionary, it’s perfectly plain and inoffensive, and it sounds perfectly descriptive of what it is.

      I tolerated the use of literally literally meaning figuratively but I draw the line at compute as a noun.

        I would love to hear a better noun representing comodified computer processing as differentiated from storage, or network bandwidth/throughput.

          Commodified computer processing sounds fine. Measure it in kw/h or other unit of energy use. Like we already did before techbros started using it at investors.
