Is this why I get anthropic/Claude emails every single day since I signed up for their status updates? I just assumed they were working hard with production bugs but in light of this comment, if you don't hit capacity constraints every day, you are wasting money?

This is true for all capital equipment - whether it's a GPU, a bore drill, or an earth mover.

You want to make use of it at as close to 100% as possible.

With the caveat that GPUs depreciate a bit faster obviously. A drill is still a drill next year or a decade from now.
