AWS 8xH100 rental runs ~$1K/day, over 5x federal minimum wage per hour

A quoted post breaks down the math: renting an 8xH100 node on AWS costs roughly $1,000 a day — about $40/hour, more than 5x the US federal minimum wage. The author uses this to argue that owning compute is becoming a permanent class divider. The main post sarcastically asks whether you've built your own neocloud setup yet.
