    Surely there has to be a level of expenditure where they just can’t reasonably make this back, right?

    Like the debt these hyperscalers are in to their investors at this moment surpasses the debt of entire countries, yet they somehow expect to make this all back and then some??

      I mean this without trying to sound facetious at all, I think a lot of the decision makers in these companies that are pushing so hard because they believe this is their path to godhood/immortality, and no price is too great for that in their eyes

      So far the money they put in the hole has come back doubled every time. It’s an old scam, sooner or later if just doesn’t come back at all.
