And they'll also do "high-performance computing."

Yet, I think Sun's early 2000's vision "the network is the computer" is finally coming and these data centers will all end up becoming multi-use. Want access to apps running with 128GB of memory? Fine.. it'll just be on a thin-client with a data-center powering it (and everything else it does.)

It's not a bad model. As I've mentioned previously, on the client-side I think will be a new era of all-in-one modular SBCs (medium clients.) These can become thin-clients for really beefy applications too that don't have to be "local-first" and can thus be "cloud enabled."

It'd also be interesting to see crypto become more dynamic. Like making it super easy to issue a token for say an upcoming event, or better yet, a new invention looking for early adopters and supporters like Rodin Coils. The big data centers on the backend can make it secure. Just speculating. So the "big iron" compute won't ever be wasted, just repurposed dynamically.

All these mad-scientist inventions will come from unemployed geniuses and tin-foil hatters, some of whom may actually be right. Let's see if they can find a way to vastly speed up radioactive decay with lasers, but, letting the bankers be fine with it all.
