I'd go further and say that the ecological and social costs of most of the contraptions provided by those providers means that using them in any way is unethical, and I personally refuse to do so. I recommend that other people do the same. (I have less fixed views on locally-trained models, but I see no very compelling need to find more things to spend energy on even if the costs are lower.) -- Colin Watson (he/him) [cjwat...@debian.org]
