Storing food is an investment, but not the kind you can sell. It's an insurance policy, and the more you store the more will go bad because you stopped eating it. You can't sell old food, so it's not a "store of value". It is just a store of food. Just like buying GPUs for AI is not an "Investment", it is a purchase of privacy.
Answer the question before buying a GPU: "Can I justify this cost to produce a nontangible work with absolute assurance the information has never left my network, or is my security need more of a gradient and can privacy assurances made by the public corporation AI company answerable under the laws of the United States to uphold their contracts and abide by their policies be sufficient security for the work I'm doing?"
The answer is "Yes, I need privacy for some things and a legal recourse is sufficient for other things I do".
The answer is not "I need perfect privacy for everything I do".
If you simply have money to burn and you will get $25k worth of enjoyment out of having that privacy assuredness even when you don't absolutely need it, then just buy the fucking thing. It's only money, you can get more.
