What's ahead for AI, VR, NFTs, and more?

We'll see more "AI as a service" (AIaaS) products. This trend started with the gigantic language model GPT-3. It's so large that it really can't be run without Azure-scale computing facilities, so Microsoft has made it available as a service, accessed via a web API. This may encourage the creation of more large-scale models; it might also drive a wedge between academic and industrial researchers. What does "reproducibility" mean if the model is so large that it's impossible to reproduce experimental results?
