It sounds like some people who are running multiple AI tasks in parallel might be risking burnout because they think they need to keep machines busy. But this is a symptom of systems that don’t run fast enough to be interactive.

If compiles take ten minutes then sure, you’re going to want to do something else while waiting. If they take two seconds, you stop caring about keeping the machine busy because it’s impossible. It’s perfectly normal for computers to be idle waiting on you most of the time.
