You are describing the justification that NVDA is using to explain their behavior; they see it as something of a 'bridge-loan' until the LLM business model reaches steady-state. The problem is that this explanation has been used for many bubbles, where companies mis-categorize ongoing costs as one-time expenses.

Is it? OpenAI and Anthropic are burning cash faster than anyone has ever shoveled cash into a furnace.
