    These are useless for let’s say streaming video

    Great for converting video (something Google does a shitload of), 3D material and fluid simulations (every engineering firm), large scientific projects (BOINC gets most of their compute from donated GPU time), and ray-tracing for movies (animated movies use a shitload of GPU compute).

      We don’t need huge portions of our electrical grid dedicated to any of that.

        They are almost certainly going to be sold at very, very low rates after the bubble pops. Lots of supply!

        Think of it like economic dumping. Going to make it hard for others to compete and anybody who has demand for some of that supply is going to be in great shape!
