It might lead to us being able to get AI datacenter level GPUs to run our own models on for relatively cheaply as ewaste. Wouldn’t that be cool?
That won’t happen. The chips themselves are useful for loads of industrial applications and the infrastructure itself is nontrivial.
Relatively cheap would still be tens of thousands of dollars.

The hardware is generally extremely custom and licensed to high hell with specific locked firmware. It will be ewaste if the bubble crashes. You won’t be running anything like this in your house and it’s very unlikely the producers will take any steps to remove the locks on the hardware even if it were designed to be compatible with consumer grade utilities and infrastructure.
