## Quote — verbatim

> Today we have something called Nvidia Tesla A100s... right now to get Nvidia A100 it takes about five weeks wait time — there is just not enough chips... I think Amazon has about 20,000 of them, Facebook has 10,000, Stability AI has four thousand... if you go to Amazon you can get A100s — unless you pay them a lot of money, they're not going to give it to you.
