would alter this: buy highest value spec atm because most cutting edge stuff is getting early adopters to pay for the innovation
Unless you are in a serious competition like xAi vs OpenAi vs Google over ai

yeah good point probably wouldn't want to buy a TPU right now even if you could. my current frame-of-reference is around Macs which usually don't have this problem. I got the m4 pro Mac mini and I am really glad I did. At the time I did not have any concrete uses for it but almost immediately I was able to find and start working on projects that the great RAM + storage + CPU/GPU cores unlocked for me.
good. avoid the nvidia trap.
Mac is its own kind of trap, but at least I’ve avoided one
for sure and now their own chip line will continue their trapping
