 Infrastructure is expensive.  Large companies are literally buying nuclear power plants just to power datacenters for generative AI and machine learning.

 Training these models uses literal datacenters worth of servers, running 24/7 for months.

 generating responses based on the model is not computationally inexpensive either.

 Not to mention he's now proven "The party of law and order" is now the "party of attacking police officers is perfectly OK and worthy of a presidential pardon"
