alt Hacker Newsbut this is just an absolute fantasy, what, exactly, will this compute be doing? Our lives are already deeply entwined with technology and use barely any compute. How could our lives become 100x more dependent on compute?
You can be thrilled by this exciting technology and all the possibilities it brings without thinking it is going to require this huge capital investment in GPUs. You could radically change billions of lives with a few dozen GPUs.

Ditch the servers.
Do and sync over client to client.
Keep data local again.
Only use cloud for backups of local client encrypted blobs of vectors:data
If you get rid of a lot of the suspect semantics hallucinated up over decades of software development it's not hard to see the geometry of an electronic snowflake. All the language just obfuscates the elegance. Crude meat suit grunts and clicks.
Streamline it all to management of geometric states and access control and put the semantics on the presentation layer. What if we don't need python and go and ruby anymore? Made sense in a pre-gpu everywhere reality. Could just be high school stats classes to generate sets of values. Let go of the obscure linguistic chants.
The data centers are just to serve surveillance purposes. Obfuscated behind politically correct memes of creating jobs.
Chip away at the monolith and atomize the topology
Push everybody to buy hardware they don’t need to constantly run agents for pretty basic tasks, such as processing your daily emails and sending you little summaries notifications. So, the most inefficient software tools ever produced, but that keeps the whole industry alive. That’s pretty much the vision Jensen Huang is selling to ensure NVIDIA continues to grow
