Losing money in hardware, insurance premiums, increased security are all nice effects though.

Also if the AI bubble does pop and they have to liquidate all these data centers, that's less stuff for us to buy on the fire sale

Would they actually be able to afford it? Investors have been throwing endless amounts of money onto the fire but in OpenAI's case at least, it was all essentially bought like "I'll pay you later, trust me", right? I'd assume convincing companies twice that you're trustworthy enough to buy the world's supply of RAM with an IOU wouldn't be possible but I guess I thought the same thing for the first time as well edit: either way, I'd take a longer period of expensive RAM if it meant a giant "fuck you" to the AI companies
