A 10 Gbps network is MUCH slower than even the smallest oldest PCIe slot you have. So cramming the GPUs in any old slot that’ll fit is a much better option than distributing it over multiple PCs.

Regarding the second point, militaries have a long history of using civilian products (see GPS in the gulf war for example) if they don’t have enough of the expensive stuff, which will lead to incentive to jam the civilian stuff as well.

This isn’t about replacing javascript, this compiles something that looks a bit like Python to C and then to WASM. Which browsers can run natively these days.

So nothing’s getting replaced, these are just additional tools for Web developers.
