People here absolutely can afford the ~2 dollars an hour of cloud rental costs for an H100 or even 8 (OCI has cheap H100 nodes). Most people are too lazy to even try and thank goodness for it because I prefer my very high salaries as someone who isn’t too lazy to spin up a cloud instance.
Not to mention some of us have enough disposable income to buy a RTX Pro 6000 so we can run our stuff locally and finally scale up our model training a little bit.
