It has to be purely digital (finance capitalism hates manufacturing), and enable a new set of makets (neoliberalism demands it) that allows infinite growth (silicon valley ideology) and requires a lot of GPUs (the tech giants funding this only want technology they have a competitive advantage on, and their competitive advantage is having enough money to fill data centers full of GPUs).

Best I can think of is cloud gaming, but I don't really think it quite works.

Cloud gaming has already come and gone, but wouldn't be surprised to see it take off again

Yeah, and it also doesn't quite fit because making games is a huge amount of work. The companies in question would rather provide a cloud gaming platform that they control and third parties make games on. But then that immediately falls over because they're all providing the same non-service and can't win the market from one another.

I just want tech to know its place. I don't want the entirety of the US economy to just be a one-trick pony with tech.

I roll my eyes at the current state of things where everyone and their mother wants to be a tech company. Domino's practically rebranded as a tech company that sells pizzas.

Domino's practically rebranded as a tech company that sells pizzas.

That's basically Dodo Pizza's schtick:

Ovchinnikov states that the company views itself as an IT-driven retail company based on the principle of transparency. Dodo Pizza uses a cloud-based system known as Dodo IS that collects and processes operations data, reports real-time business analytics, and helps kitchen and delivery staff to be more efficient by allowing for more informed decision-making.
