I'm a founder in Canada. I'm trying to buy AI compute for my company.
Canada committed $2 billion. I got on the sales call.
The provider showed me chips in Iowa, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Dubai, London — none in Canada.
I went around to Google, Amazon, DigitalOcean, Nvidia. We couldn't find any chips whatsoever.
Then I got approved for 16 H100s. None were available.
So I tried to buy a Mac Studio knicks instead. $11,049 cart. Currently Unavailable. Sold out globally.
I'm gabriele sandri paying Anthropic $200/month for the next-best thing. $2,400 a year to rent my own brain.

Own or Be Owned. Every dependency is a debt.
