..., yet. Mostly because of the tech being decently locked down by license and limited access currently. At the pace these models are developing it's pretty much unthinkable that it will not have a big impact in the next 20 years.

Access is limited by the hardware you have access to. Forget about training, just running these models takes a lot of memory.

AI compute is increasing at a rate faster than Moore's law. Right now if DALL-E 2 takes an 8xA100 box to run inferences, how long before it's on the workstation? 4-5 years?

It's to be expected. Almost nobody really cared about accelerating AI computations, so I expect that AI chips will be catching up.
