I don't love nvidia, but this is not the example I would choose to show why.
cutting edge hardware exists at prices that are affordable for hobbyists largely because a few key features for commercial use cases can be "artificially" turned off.
it sucks that you don't get to pay consumer prices for your highly lucrative application anymore, but the alternative looks a lot more like "tensor prices for geforce skus" than "geforce prices for tensor skus". we are already seeing this play out with crypto mining to an extent. I'd hate to see what would happen to the consumer market if AWS could just buy a bunch of RTX parts to rent out.
