It would be nice if the major labs actually helped free software
projects with that process. Instead, they give you a trial for a few
months in hopes you become dependent on it, and drain your wallet into
theirs once the trial is finished. They probably learned that tactic
from drug dealers.

I used to be more charitable, recognizing that the compute would be
expensive. But seeing recent events where OpenAI decided to spend
millions of dollars to steal credit from independent math researchers
has made it even clearer that money is no concern of theirs.
