We benchmarked Google Cloud's $512 VM – the speed wasn't the interesting part

AI slop article. It wasn't just X. It was Y.

Also, $500/mo for 64GiB of RAM and 16 mystery meat CPUs. LOL! You guys are all being ripped off and you don't even know it.

Thought this would be a speed story.

Ended up being a predictability story.

Three fresh deployments looked almost boring. Which is probably exactly what you want from a $512/month VM.
