I bought a datacenter GPU that doesn't fit in a normal motherboard, macgyvered the fan with jumper wires, and now I'm running a model that ties with Claude Sonnet 4.6 on benchmarks, all for £200.

    But here is the thing: this is a Volta GPU with 16GB of HBM2 memory, 5120 CUDA cores, and I picked it up for about £150 on eBay. The compute is still real. The VRAM is still real. And the memory bandwidth is where it gets genuinely surprising.

    It’s AI slop. You’re blind.

      🤣

      I feel so bad for you. You’re going to see AI over every shoulder, looking back in every mirror, and hear it in every voice. Stop trying to guess now, or you’ll soon be insane.
