TPUs have been all over the shelf, and adoption was snubbed. More graphics cards than ever before! Real-time raytracing available on your cell phone, laptop, and all 5 smart TVs in your home and backyard porch!!
You were unable to convince your executives to adopt huggingface, IOT, and instead they opted to employ phone calls and Excel spreadsheets.
You, consumer, failed to accept Stadia into your heart,... and now you shall pay for your snide indifference!!

Of course real consumers can't buy the hardware, real consumers don't have AAA credit ratings. You can always eBay a K80 as well if your motherboard supports the >4G decoding switch, but my primary point was about the insane purchasing power that affords large CommSvc sector company the ability to crash the market for a product before anyone even has logistics in place, apparently wishing to gatekeep any applications. - Game devs haven't made any games that stress a cloud gaming environment, they didn't even push VR. - Corporate consumers are hardly adopting AI at all, because there's still barely even a workforce. - Some very vocal people find proof of work a distasteful mechanism to support logistical metacommodity growth.
