    Measure it in energy use like we already did. It’s a dumb term techbros use to get investor dicks hard.

      Energy use is the not the thing being sold, and never was.

      It’s an engineering term that engineers use to easily and efficiently describe the thing being built and sold. It’s not for the benefit of investors, it’s for the benefit of other engineers so they can easily describe the thing being talked about.

          All words are made up.

          It’s an accurate and useful word for describing something that previously did not have a word. Pretty simple stuff.

              No, it didn’t, that’s why compute is used now. Compute is a mass noun, shortened from Computation, also a mass noun and it’s a perfectly reasonable and accurate word. Also compute is not an adjective in any context, you’re thinking of a verb.

                Ok so you apparently never took grammar so arguing with you is like playing chess with a pigeon. You’re just kinda strutting around the board, knocking over the pieces and shitting all over the place thinking you’re winning.

                  You’re projecting. In this conversation you have so far:

                  • Tried to unitize a gerund without adding a measure word
                  • Mistaken phrases for words
                  • Confused adjectives and nouns
                  • Ignored the validity of mass nouns as a whole

                  I don’t think you have even a conceptual understand of Grammar, and I suspect you only know English as a second language
