Excess gpu? No, the datacenters built to run AI use tailor made silicon that is really only useful for running super-high-performance neural nets.
Some people and even businesses used gpus to train or run models but that was a drop in the bucket compared to what is being installed right now.
they could do cfd/weather/material science but that's not worth 100 billions
Honestly, weather simulations and material science could be worth that in the right circumstances.
i think qualitive leap would be some robust agriculture related large scale forecasting (2-3 months out, on floods/heat domes/droughts etc), but that seems unlikely to be possible. although who knows
that's just gonna end up being used to raise the price of bread by a quantillion every few weeks.
Yea it's far more likely they're going to use it for live image processing that either is connected to automated turrets shooting down migrants and d*generates, or it's going to be plugged to the cameras in supermarkets that will raise prices to the maximum any specific person can afford.
I think it'll be slightly less horrible than that. The collapse of the LLM "ai" and image generation will turn into the most complete surveillance state to have ever existed. No need to shoot people if they are too afraid to make a move.
If anything for the past 2 years has shown us, is that the turrets will be placed in borders and they will be used to stop climate and water refugees while other psy-ops are used within the borders .
I fully expect to see those all over the hawaiian island that Zuckerberg is taking over.
