It doesn't really matter if it goes mainstream or not.

It does matter for it to be environmentally sustainable

What's happening currently is a bubble that's not in any way sustainable. And energy prices going through the roof thanks to the war could even be the catalyst that pops it. But as I noted earlier, we've gone through this cycle many times in tech world. New tech often requires a ton of resources to run which creates the mainframe era, then it gets optimized overtime, and moves to edge devices. I don't see anything special about LLMs here. We're just in very early stages of new technology.
