There is a chinese blogpost from 2019 about 3FS so it predates deepseek [1]. It will be interesting to see the benchmarks but I suspect without 3FS smallpond is not that useful (the bottleneck would move to the networked file system).
None of the big US clouds support Infiniband broadly (Azure & Oracle have some support) so 3FS itself is not very useful to US companies who want to use public clouds.
Not OP, but, anything that actually physically affects the real world for the better? For instance, large infrastructure engineering and construction projects are not going to run themselves any time soon. The world doesn't revolve around ad and fin tech.
If your white collar job consists of simply using software, like copying numbers you see to an excel sheet, maybe. Otherwise they are pretty safe. People have been building tools and automation for thousands of years, yet nobody invented a fully automated cook for your fancy family dinner.
It's not impossible to imagine. Not many LoC and it's a lightweight python layer on top of the stack that actually does the heavy lifting - DuckDB and 3FS.
