Assuming the British government gets a fair price for the hardware, and actually has the machine running prior to the bet end date, does this satisfy the condition?
No.
That condition resolves on the basis of the cost of the training run, not the cost of the hardware. You can tell because we spelled out the full details of how to estimate costs, and it depends on the cost in FLOP for the training run.
But honestly at this point I’m considering conceding early and just paying out, because I don’t look forward to years of people declaring victory early, which seems to already be happening.
