Looks like good value, but I wonder if it would get CPU/RAM bottlenecked, especially if you want to train something with a lot of preprocessing in the pipeline. Something comparable I've found with 7x4090 which comes to about $50k, but with much better CPU/RAM (3x CPU, 4x RAM, 5x SSD):

Closer to $42k, i think, at least if you're comparing it to the Tinybox price -- the price in pounds on the site includes VAT, which you wouldn't pay as a business or if you were getting it for export outside the UK, whereas you'd need to add on VAT if you were getting a Tinybox in the UK.

I'm guessing the algorithm put you in some bucket, as my (Spanish/European, if that matters) "For you" looks quite different, the 10 first tweets are ~4 coding things, 1 meme, 2 WIP animation things and 3 different angles on the ongoing Telegram story. Last time I opened Twitter seems to have been 3 months ago according to my browser history, so not really a big user of it either.

Social media sites are the collective equivalent of a "dollar auction"[1]

In the dollar auction, each immediate choice isrational, but the overall process inevitably results in you losing value once you've decided to participate. But at each step, you lose more by quitting than by keeping going.

Social media is the same, except that it's collective: if you want to keep in touch with certain people, you don't have a choice other than to use the social media site they are using, so leaving is a collective action problem.
