Ugh. This is the part of the recent AI advancement that annoys me the most. The web, at least in its infancy, was pretty accessible to individual hobbyists. You could run a web server on your own computer. AI technology seems highly centralized from the start.

The web in its infancy only worked because of the massive infrastructure that allowed your server to talk to others. In the same way you can tinker with your own web server, you can tinker with AI tech. You just can't reasonably train it independently, though the cost in terms of compute resources is something like 1% of what it was many years ago.
