Yup it's quite literally the world's most expensive parrot. (Mind you, a plain old parrot is not cheap either. But OpenAI is a whole other order of magnitude.)

Parrots may live 50 years. H100s probably won’t last half that long.

Parrots are very smart animals that understand at least some of the words they learn. I wish people would give llms more credit.

Sure but I meant the costs are feasible for many companies, hence competition. That was very different from the barriers to nuclear weapons development.
