To train an LLM at @AWScloud scale you apparently need massive power, ~$65 million, and a team of LorgeBoys(tm) to put the 6U beastly servers into the racks in the first place.

@Quinnypig this is giving me flashbacks of trying to mount Sun 4U boxes by myself; injuries were unavoidable

If you got injured, it was because you didn't have enough LorgeBoys. You know our motto: "we don't get injuries, we cause them!"

@Biggles yeah, that was me trying to do stuff by myself that should have been a team effort, but I had no team

@darkuncle

Yes, but a fully decked out 6u weighs more than you do. Substantially. Getting crushed by a computer is a silly way to die. I hope at least that if you *did* lose a finger to the rack spirits you'd have the commonsense to tell people it was sharkbite.

@Biggles I never tried to lift more than a 4U, and that only once. The 2U Sun E420 boxes were plenty.

@darkuncle

That "team lift" icon is on the box for a reason, hooligan.
