I just hope no one misinterprets my work. Using a rented #AI right now is practical, because it is subsidized heavily. I've documented what the actual API costs were for some of my projects on thinkberg.com. The important part is: even if the #bubble bursts, the #technology will stay. I am not just "using" it, I also invest time to understand how to set up my own local system, which often works quite well, even with smaller hardware. Just firing against a new technology without trying to understand its use and misuse is just stupid.
