This the chips are worthless in 3 years is a misnomer. The chips still have value it's just that in 3years it is highly likely that the chips on the market will be better than chips being used today. However Moores law is starting to Peter out.
Yep. There are 10 year old GPU accelerators that are basically vaporware at this point. But the 5-6 year old ones are still useful for local LLMs. They do require some unusual adapters, but those are out there for sale, too. ~$400 gets you 24GB of VRAM at about 1/2 the cost of a new consumer GPU.
While you can tweak your "book value" depreciation schedule, all it does is inflate assets. When you turn over GPUs, you'll take any difference as a loss or a gain once final value is known.
And I wouldn't be surprised to find these previous gen AI machines finding their way into new, 2nd tier cloud operations or medium sized businesses in a few years.

Can't they sell the 3 y/o graphics cards to poor kids for video gaming?🤣😂
