AI slop article. It wasn't just X. It was Y.

Also, $500/mo for 64GiB of RAM and 16 mystery meat CPUs. LOL! You guys are all being ripped off and you don't even know it.

Yeah that pricing is insane

When first allocating that vm I was utterly shocked.

Thought this would be a speed story.

Ended up being a predictability story.

Three fresh deployments looked almost boring. Which is probably exactly what you want from a $512/month VM.

People seem to set their money on fire?

Not people! Just enterprises that want scalability.
