You should be able to achieve this mentality shift without owning a GPU. You just need to commit some money upfront to cloud GPU spend, in a way that is not feasible to go back on.

That way you get the experimentation-encouraging mentality shift to "If I don't use this, I'm wasting my money", without the cost inefficiencies associated with actually buying an accelerator, discussed by others in this thread -> you'll never be able to match the the utilisation and thus the cost amortisation of cloud GPUs.
