I wonder what will happen with all the compute once the AI bubble bursts.

It seems like gaming made GPU manufacturing scale enough to start using them as general compute, Bitcoin pumped billions into this market, driving down prices (per FLOP) and AI reaped the benefit of that, when crypto moved to asics and crashed later on.

But what's next? We've got more compute than we could reasonably use. The factories are already there, the knowledge and techniques exist.

i think open source will build actually useful integrations due to the available compute
