This is the new startup from George Hotz. I would like him to succeed, but I'm not so optimistic about their chances of selling a $15k box that is most likely less than $10k in parts. Most people would do much better by buying a second-hand 3090 or similar and connecting them into a rig.

Not necessarily, I'm not sure about AMD GPUs, but he tweeted that AMD supports linking all 6 together. If that's the case, then 6 of those XTX should crush 6 3090's. For us techies we definitely will decide to build vs buy. However businesses would definitely decide to buy vs build.

I think businesses are more likley to rent and techies are more likely to build. So he is betting on a niche, techies who wants to buy a 15k device or companies who do not want to rent. Also companies who are willing to go the AMD GPU route instead of NVIDIA GPU, which as much better tooling and much more experts on the job market.

He keeps hopping from thing to thing
