What are the odds that when / if the AI bubble burst, the companies just destroy the GPUs and RAM instead of allowing prices to return to normal by liquidating the stock?
Many companies have 'em. Often, it's used for expiring groceries, but more and more often, I notice that many 'mainstream' computer shops tend to 'push off' older hardware, even if they work after removing wungblowz and just throw them out.
The CEOs would be screwing themselves over if they did that. If they want to hide behind bankruptcy protections, they can't go screwing over their creditors by destroying the assets that they're legally required to liquidate to pay the creditors back with.

AI cards aren’t consumer cards. They wouldn’t be useful for gaming.
They’re eating up all the ram that consumer cards need to be produced at all.
It’s like a car company stopped making sedans so they could make farm combines. Can’t exactly drive a combine on the highway.
Pretty high, but there's always people looking to profit by underhanded sales of "to be liquidated" stock.
Is there a "to be liquidated" list?
I'm sure there's some people who could go on it.
