ShashwatGoel7 notes that few places in the world let PhD students get B200 GPUs on demand. He gets disappointed when industry internships don't provide more compute, and points out that in the US, PhD students may even have to work for a data vending startup to sustain their research — highlighting stark global disparities in academic compute access.
