During World War II, the Allies discovered that the Nazis were collecting radioactive thorium from every corner of all the countries they invaded
They thought it was going toward a massive Nazi nuclear weapon
The Nazis were in fact using the throrium to make radioactive toothpaste
in my mind I'm drawing parallels with companies using AI-optimized compute for silly things like chatbots. there's some other killer app that could use it, I'm sure, well maybe. but they're making radioactive toothpaste atm.
