I definitely don't "get" Silicon Valley finances that much - but how does any investor look at this and think they're ever going to see that money back?

Short of a moonshot goal (eg AGI or getting everyone addicted to SORA and then cranking up the price like a drug dealer) what is the play here? How can OpenAI ever start turning a profit?

All of that hardware they purchase is rapidly depreciating. Training cost are going up exponentially. Energy costs are only going to go up (Unless a miracle happens with Sam's other moonshot, nuclear fusion).
