I remember reading a story on reddit where children for their mother's Mother's day created deep fake of their passed grandparents, hoping it would make their mother happy...yet their mothers reaction was more creeped out over happiness.
This is pretty awesome! At my workplace we're using tailscale, and it's been mostly good experience. There were some hickups (like tokens expiring without sending any notification email), though all in all much better then alternatives.
Yes, I like them (and I feel like I've seen some other similar services but haven't looked into them closely). Its easy to start and stop interactive instances (easier than AWS imo) for doing stuff in notebooks, and to run training jobs on more powerful GPUs when you need to, because you're only paying for it when you're actually using it.
OVH actually has a (distantly) similar service (much less user friendly than grid and without the whole "grid" feature, but that matters less for hobbyists if you're not doing a lot of parallel runs). I liked the OVH one a lot in principle, but in practice found it too buggy to use properly (and they don't have customer support). For a budget project it could be worth trying.
