In my masters degree I always ran many computations as did all my peers

The reality is that more of us are than not are using huge HPC clusters / cloud computing for many hours on each project

The industry is just GPUs going BRRR

I’m wondering if this has potential implications for ML in society as AI/ML becomes more mainstream

I could see this narrative being easily played in legacy media

Ps - yeah while there are researchers trying to make things more efficient, the general trend is that we are using more GPU hours per year in order to continue innovation at the forefront of artificial inference

Better than crypto mining. At least produces some research results.
