Founder & CEO at LINEdot. | AI-Powered Technology Due Diligence
2wUseful life is one of the hardest things to evaluate in tech investments. The accounting depreciation schedule almost never matches the actual point where a technology becomes a liability instead of an asset. What I keep seeing is that ecosystem shifts kill useful life faster than hardware aging does. A perfectly working system becomes obsolete not because it breaks, but because everything around it moved on. Do you think the 4-5 year assumption holds for AI infrastructure, or is it already too generous?
