Buy what? Hardware for inference? Pretty sure you'd still be giving money to "AI assholes", just somewhat different flavor. And you'd likely have to pay so much that the $60/mo would seem like peanuts, and in the end you'd still have a subpar experience/performance compared to SOTA.

that means they're foreign AI assholes

they're still not your friends, and you need to buy the hardware from other assholes, who are also deep in this game, e.g. NVDA
