I wonder what will happen with all the compute once the AI bubble bursts.

It seems like gaming made GPU manufacturing scale enough to start using them as general compute, Bitcoin pumped billions into this market, driving down prices (per FLOP) and AI reaped the benefit of that, when crypto moved to asics and crashed later on.

But what's next? We've got more compute than we could reasonably use. The factories are already there, the knowledge and techniques exist.

Compute becomes cheaper and larger undertakings happen. LLMs are huge, but there is new tech moving things along. The key part in LLMs, the transformer is getting new competition that may surpass it, both for LLMs and other machine learning uses.

Otherwise, cheaper GPUs for us gamers would be great.
