It also explicitly says "rental", so I'm not sure how one can possibly arrive at the conclusion that they meant "$2 to own an H100"

It didn't say that at the time, the article still has the submitted title: $2 H100s: How the GPU Bubble Burst

Even so, I genuinely don't see how anyone who might be clicking this article could possibly interpret it the way GP is saying.

Well, case in point, I did. When I read the title I thought – "IIRC these were going for thousands, could they have really dropped so hard? Well, sometimes companies, cars, real estate properties cost $1, but there's always of course a catch. Let's see what the catch is here... <click> ah, it's a 4x reduction of rental price, boring"

Holy fuck.

The HN title has been editorialized, perhaps recently.

The original article title is:
