This is great, but what is a possible use-case of these massive classifier models? I'm guessing they won't be running at the edge, which precludes them from real-time applications like self-driving cars, smartphones, or military. So then what? Facial recognition for police/governments or targeted advertisement based on your Instagram/Google photos? I'm genuinely curious.
