RE: https://social.coop/@cwebber/116421159289416290 This is why this current version of “AI” isn’t sustainable. Every single element of what AI companies (aka “hyperscalers”) are building is a non-scalable, consumable resource (GPUs/NPUs, even the data centers themselves, etc) with a working lifetime of 18 months (max due to burnout of hardware or upgrades) but a taxable lifetime of 5-7 years. You cannot make a profit on something that depreciates faster than its ROI and you cannot deduct expenses against losses only against actual revenue.
