If op is trying to catch up to frontier models locally on a budget 1/5th of what you can get in the west then I can see why she would feel the way she does about Ai.
You said a month's salary; cedws said "third world" devs can't afford $5000 — and this is correct, third world devs can't afford that. cedws did not say EU, they said third world, at least not here. You said EU, not them.
When you reply to me with "With salaries like that it's not first world either", who is "they"? The country I said explicitly was third world? Because that's a tautology.
