Possibly, but components from AI centers cannot be reused easily (or at all) for consumer machines.

    Hopefully we have ways to recycle the old chips. Some of the GPU chips could maybe be put on consumer boards? I've already heard of memory chips being recycled, except HBM of course.

    Of course a lot of these companies would probably just prefer to put them in a trash compactor lol.
