> in a few years folks will be coming up with creative ideas for cheap storage and GPUs flooding the market
COVID was six years ago. In that time, GPU prices haven't gone down (and really have only increased). Count me skeptical that there will be a flood of cheap components.
That was largely due to the crypto mining bubble popping just as the AI bubble was getting started
I feel like the most recent time you could reasonably get an nvidia *80 GPU at the store for a normal amount of money was almost a decade ago.
