I'm afraid that a lot of the infrastructure will be heavily catered towards DoD computing resources. This means after the components hit their lifecycle, they aren't released to the used markets on ebay, instead they are shredded and rendered electronic waste.

    All of those GPUs will be irrelevent in 24 months, and almost all of them are useless to consumers.

    Its by design, its intentional.

    They want you hooked to their cloud teat.

    A lot of scientists, tinkerers, 3D renderers and such would love cheap A100s and up.

    On the contrary, I don't think they will get cheaper. Somehow they'll get bought back and trashed (like Nvidia has done in the past), hoarded, tasked with busywork, something that that.
