Removing GPU Flavors

I have decided to remove GPU flavors from SporeStack. They haven't been launched for at least 90 days and were never popular, which makes this an easier decision.

I know that there are good and reasonable uses for GPUs, but I feel that by and large their uses with modern AI/LLMs/Generative AI is highly suspect. I'd certainly encourage someone to run a model on their own server vs a huge corporation like OpenAI or Claude, but I feel that AI is a dark path.

If you have a compelling use case for GPU servers I may hear you out, but at least for the time being I think I should close the door on these. It doesn't cost much of anything to offer them. And though they are unused, I could imagine a scenario where SporeStack is used to make and train very large models.

I'd rather avoid that.

I don't want to be the thought police, but could also imagine SporeStack being used for some very sketchy and serious deepfakes. I'd also rather avoid that. The power is quite great and the dangers are substantial.

I miss a world where I could look at a picture or a video and not have to wonder: "Is this real?"
