It's 100,000 GPUs, not NVL72 racks: viral cluster-size claim corrected

firstadopter corrects a viral claim about massive training clusters: the real figure is 100,000 GPUs, not 100,000 NVL72 servers (which would imply 7.2 million Blackwell GPUs). He notes million-GPU/TPU training clusters remain in the future, and the widely shared estimate was off by roughly an order of magnitude.
