Yeah so, either the prices need to come down, or devs optimize for those price points. Or both. Because two thousand dollars for a gpu is ridiculous.

I thought we were about to have a break when everything went ASIC, but that just didn’t last.
No one will ever stop chasing AI. It’s the holy grail of corporate efficiency, just you… your shareholders… and some unpaid robot slaves. The dream.
What’s with this “you” middle man? Let’s just get rid of that and have shareholders-robots.
Eventually, the bubble will burst.
Venture Cap paid for the first round of hardware; it has to make real money for the second round.
Once the token price rises to the actual cost of buying the ephemeral hardware it’s running on, no one will want to use it for the hard stuff.
