[Meatloaf] Sleezon's 100K AI Cluster

[Jeff Hayas]

Wow.  At 28K$ (retail) per GPU
<https://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-Hopper-Graphics-5120-Bit-Learning/dp/B0CXBNNNSD>,
that's 280M$ just for the GPU's.
Then there is the cost of Racks, Power and Cooling systems, and of course
the data-interconnects (I wonder what architecture they use);
for all that we can probably say the cost is 10X the GPU's.  So yeah, $2-3
Billion(US).

I find it ironic that they chose to call the Super-AI system "Colossus", as
in the 1970 film "Colossus: The Forbin Project"
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus:_The_Forbin_Project>.
We'll know we're in trouble if the new Colossus system has Musk
assassinated.
