"In the aftermath of the Dot Com Bubble, dead startups flooded the market with cheap server and office gear, which allowed plucky founders to cobble together their own services. A single Sun Microsystems Ultra Enterprise 3000 cost $43,000 ($89,000 in today’s money) and had a power draw of between 1,200W and 1,500W, but could run an entire company’s infrastructure. A single B200 Blackwell GPU uses 1,200W, and more-complex AI coding tasks can take up four to twelve of them for a single user’s output. Put simply, you can’t really do very much with a few of these GPUs, and what you can do isn’t profitable, scaleable or valuable."
