Two thoughts on that: 1. GPU prices aren't as high as they were during the mining peak, but you can still buy a car with the money it takes to buy a pod of A10

Two thoughts on that:
1. GPU prices aren't as high as they were during the mining peak, but you can still buy a car with the money it takes to buy a pod of A100s. Further to that point, Google et al. are making the next generation of ML accelerators and they won't even sell the best ones.
2. Compute is only half the problem. Access to data (e.g. in the form of email and smart assistant queries and ring door bells) is a much under appreciated second half of that equation.
