My how fast the AI tech bros move to protect corporations but don't move to protect the average coder, artists, writers.

hardware that people cant USE, they are solely used for AI in those datacenters, its just going to be e-waste.

    You used to be able to BIOS flash workstation GPUs to make them somewhat usable for gaming.... not sure how far these AI GPUs have diverged from gaming cards these days and if a BIOS flash could make them playable.

    No it isn't. 0h come on. Yeah thy couldn't possibly take the same or similar hardware components and make them work in PCs.

    They are already putting NPUs in PCs.

    You'd have to start soldering the HBM and the GPU chips off the boards they're on. Those aren't PCI-E boards much of the time. Also, they don't have display outputs.

    I'd absolutely buy one of those servers to run open-weight models locally, but let's not kid ourselves here: We're talking about an ungodly amount of power for a single machine, think it was a few megawatts for a rack, or at least hundreds of kilowatts. A single server luckily should still be in two digit kilowatts. Could realistically only use it in the winter though.

    I can. Compute is compute. Even if it's extremely niche you give me enough cycles I'll find something to run on it.

    There is a geniuly cool idea floated a last year I think at xorg conf for a Linux driver that used GPGPU instructions to do the traditional GPU processing as well. So theoretically you could use some of the AI accell to instead compute things like rastors.
