If compute is to be our new capital by way of it being the fuel that runs our lives, then compute must behave like a finite resource.
For compute to be a finite resource, big tech must restrict where these resources (GPUs and CPUs) are allocated. All compute must now be centralized; restricted to data center kingdoms owned by only the largest most wealthy firms.
That means less local-compute devices, and more cloud-tethered thin clients.
The GPU "shortage" makes a whole lot more sense.
