Yea as far has hobbies go, I feel like this is on the low end. I know people who collect watches and corvettes, that's way more expensive and functionally you can't really do anything special with them.
- theteapot 3mo agoThe difference is watches and corvettes typically appreciate in value, where as computer hardware typically drops like a rock.
- randomNumber7 3mo agoAlso LLMs are mainly used for work and if you can spend 6 digits on watches your likely financially independent.
- 15155 3mo ago> watches Some, and the market fluctuates a ton. > corvettes Only the oldest, most unique model years: nobody is buying (C4-C5-realistically C6) mid-90s or early 2000s Corvettes for more than what they paid for them, and they never will.
- parineum 3mo ago> The difference is watches and corvettes typically appreciate in value Both of those things' value drops like a rock as soon as you buy them and, at least for cars, they don't all appreciate. Most don't. Even so, they appreciate at an incredible slow rate. I can't speak for watches but I'd be surprised if it wasn't the same situation. At least the gpus can create value after you buy them before they are worthless.

- Der_Einzige 3mo agoCorvettes don't appreciate in value, and high end data center hardware isn't dropping in value anymore. A100s are more than 2 dollars an hour, more than they cost in 2023.
