What interesting hardware would we build if we could build hardware cheaply enough to serve niche markets? The current design space is constrained by economics (need sufficient volume). But I’m also not sure what hardware would be useful in the world that doesn’t already exist

I'd say any kind of accelerators. Imagine you "vibe code" a video codec, try it out on an FPGA and then use something like europractice-ic.com/services/fabri… to create the chips. In general I would say this is one of those situations where maybe no it is hard to imagine what you can do, but once it is possible you cannot stop seeing applications.
