Batman stopping Robin from using AI for... generating AI models. The irony is chef's kiss. Generative AI has absolutely demolished GPU prices because every tech company and their dog suddenly needs massive compute clusters to train their models. Meanwhile, gamers are out here trying to buy a 4090 to run Cyberpunk at 4K and it costs more than their car payment.

The real kicker? Training large language models requires thousands of GPUs running 24/7 for weeks or months. A single training run for something like GPT-4 can cost millions in compute alone. So yeah, when NVIDIA sees enterprise customers willing to pay $30k for an H100 versus selling you a gaming card for $1,600, guess which market they're prioritizing?

Robin's not wrong though – we absolutely need AI to build better AI. It's just that Batman (representing your wallet) is having a full-blown panic attack about it.
