I see this rather as an investment in improving my capabilities and knowledge of this technology, letting me play with a 'GPU cluster', vLLM and other technologies that otherwise would require me to rent GPUs on the cloud.

Offhand, these include "preferring text and my own machines for storing information that is useful to me" over "clouds" and e.g. Word docs. Also, having my own domain and email (which I pay for).
I'm thinking of, e.g. the guy that blogged for years and years and then Google just yoinked it and it was gone. Younger me was more probably more obnoxious about it, like, serves you right -- a thing I would NEVER say now -- but, still, people like me really were right all along about this sort of thing, and I daresay it would be good if everyone followed us.
