Compute is also a rapidly depreciating asset.

I want to make a comparison with a car rental business and say that it would be like valuing Hertz entirely on the basis of the number of cars they own, as opposed to how many they rent out, but cars have a much longer depreciation period, if there are no customers they’re not costing you more money, unlike your computer which you are using for training and sucking up massive amounts of energy, and those cars do maintain decent value even after they’re of little use to the car rental company, unlike the compute here.
