Hopefully it involves outdated datacenter GPUs flooding the open market to try and recoup what they can, selling for pennies on the dollar to anyone who will buy them, and thus people figuring out how to adapt these cards to work in consumer systems.

The GPUs they’re talking about don’t have video outputs, and I think many of them aren’t even PCIe. Even at pennies on the dollar, they’ll still be hundreds of dollars, so way easier just to get a consumer card. All the past infrastructure bubbles, the companies that inevitably failed at least left some usable infrastructure - rails, pipelines, dark fiber… These guys are going to crash, never pay back their loans, and the acres of datacenter, containers of GPUs, and racks of servers are just going to get recycled. It’s such shocking waste that it’s hard to comprehend.
