Apart from need, have newly build data centers at scale bought their GPUs for a reasonable price, or did they pay FOMO money? Because from what I can see on the consumer side, crypto and AI pushed GPU prices into funny realms. I imagine, if the AI opulencia actually massively over-payed for their toys, there is probably no recovering. In time, before the tech becomes obsolete, I see no application on the horizon, except for the one thing even worse than AI: crypto. So, a push for crypto, fitted to these GPUs, may be the signal to brace for impact. The music stops, billionaires eat the last chair, and all we get is tough love and a new aesthetic: Hypepunk, the dawn of Silicon Gothic.
