My thing is this: You don't have to read it. You don't have to read the article and you don't have to read the comments. HN is just about the simplest aggregator website there is. Simply scroll down two lines and you&#x27

For me that brings up two questions: 1) Will I (and others) be able to get a H100 (or similar) when the bubble pops, and would that lead to new innovations from the GPU poor? 2) Will China take the lead in AI as they are less "capitali
