Very curious about the second order effects of the hundreds of billions poured into LLMs. Perhaps even if LLMs do not pan out, we will have a massive increase in green energy production, grid enhancements and a leap in capacity for general-purpose computing over the next few years? Or maybe that is my naive side talking...

I agree that the potential is there for... something? I don't know what. The things you mentioned are possibilities for sure!

Maybe another way to look at it is: with hundreds of billions being tossed around, could there possibly not be second-order effects?

We'll see....

You can't plug an H200 into your home desktop. Compute would be owned and rented out by server hosts.
