Thanks a ton! Another great answer which I will use as a roadmap! Back to buying GPU question - why not renting it on some cloud provider? I have mac - not sure how external gpu fits in the picture here.

Libraries and end user facing projects are beginning to support Mac's GPU.

Renting on cloud platforms is $$$. But sure, you can start by trying there. After the crypto crash, GPU prices have dropped a lot, too.

Also, building a rig with GPUs, and SSHing into it from a Macbook is pretty common.

And also, be aware of roadmaps. Eevry person is different, and their roadmaps should as well be. Make a roadmap through trial and error by trying out many sources. I told you what I think are the best.
