For reasons unexplained, you have no homelab hardware, but $1,000 in cash earmarked for the purpose.

What are you buying, what are you installing on it, and how is it different from what you've done previously (i.e. lessons learned)?

I'd buy the highest memory GPU I could get my hands on and slap it in my computer. I'd be playing with AI because it's probably going to replace us all in the not too distant future.

People are probably going to be like "wELl Ai HaLOOOsiNaTes or GetS ThiNgs WRonG". Yep, and so do people. We also had vacuum tubes and literal bugs before we had transistors and metaphorical bugs. This isn't a steady march to computers everywhere. This is a sprint to see who replaces all thinking work with AI agents first. The controller of the most successful agents will own the labor force.

So, either learn to build and repair the looms or become a luddite. Focus your lab money on AI.
