So don't buy a V100 then, and test it for a few bucks online somewhere. If you want other's to provide yo that hardware for free, with no chance of you actually buying you just come across as entitled.
Do you also think it's sad you can't sneak into Disneyland for 5 minutes for free just to see if there are any streakers in It's a Small World?
I'm getting the impression you're just an entitled gamer who wants a free ride from the University of Michigan, not a professional programmer or AI developer who would actually get some tangible value out of subscribing to ChatGPT for $20 a month. I'm thankful to be alive in a time I can so conveniently get so much value for so little cash.
Is that the case? Is $10 really too much to ask to use a high-end GPU for a month? Then it's not really as sad and hopeless as you complain it is. Just be a good boy all year, ask Santa for an GeForce RTX 4090 for Christmas, leave some cookies and milk out for him, and hope your parents get the hint!
hah wrong on all accounts. not a gamer, yes a professional "programmer", yes paying $20 for chatgpt.
people don't pay for things without getting a feel for what they're getting. hence the huge focus in saas on various monetisation strategies. if someone puts these anagrams in a product, it will be freemium or have a tree tier, and then i will play with it.
there are 20 new projects like this every day, i'm not going to pay for all of them just to try them. i'll try the product if/when there is one
If there are 20 projects like this that make you sad every day, you must be terribly depressed. But you just seem entitled, and feeling sorry for yourself. You don't seem very serious about pursuing and paying for your own self education or even amusement.
You are aware that the University of Michigan is not a startup whose mission is to make an SaaS with a free tier for you to play with funded by their investors, right? Maybe if you enrolled as a grad student they'd let you use their resources for free (once your tuition check cleared). But your chances of being accepted into their PhD program would be higher if you showed more than $10/month in enthusiasm and initiative.
