Good find.

At least we now know that for $50k max a working AI platform can be built.

That could be a worthwhile investment for someone starting their career .. not much different from a typical student loan .. and probably much more useful!

I think that it would be a very bad idea in most cases.

But I'm confused on why you are talking about RAM as something very important for AI.

Vram is what you really need, I would say. (I mean, you need some ram, of course, but probably 16 GB is enought... 32 at the most)

And you need to have that VRAM in GPUs powerfull enought, of course, it's not just having enought vram, is also computing power.
