    I've got some idle servers in my basement in Bulgaria with lots of GPUS. I'm actually in Cambodia at the moment. I've actually been playing with some similar ideas. Message me if y…

    I'll drop this here: If anyone wants to work on Language Reactor (well compensated), my email is in my profile. I'm planning to start open-sourcing much of it soon.
