Good idea.

I have checked the pricing of 12gb & 24GB GPUs ... not too bad currently.

I suspect that say 5 x 24GB GPUs would come to under $10k.

Add in the special motherboard and maybe we are looking at around $15k for a complete hardware system.

With careful purchasing that could possibly come down to under $10k total.

And, yes, GPT can be run across multiple GPUS, both when training and for running.

Good find.

At least we now know that for $50k max a working AI platform can be built.

That could be a worthwhile investment for someone starting their career .. not much different from a typical student loan .. and probably much more useful!

Good point.

Any idea what a NEW 1TB PC with say 50TB hard disk would cost?

• chatGPT can detect AI generated text - just paste it in and ask!
• Tools already exist to rewrite AI text to 'normal' text .. and will improve.
• Soon the AI text will be 'watermarked' to flag its origins.

I think that soon we will all be EXPECTED to use AI tools in all aspects of our lives, at least in part.

So simply add a note 'Text partially edited/created by AI'.

If your school/college is unhappy with this, then they are living in the past and are therefore providing you with an outdated education.
