what do you think debt is? what you've described as misleading, is debt by definition.

It is, by definition, NOT debt. With debt, you are given a lump sum of money. These are spending contracts, but any contract has the ability to be gotten out of, unless your lawyers are very stupid.

That would be called a loan, I think?

		They mean you're obligated to the money. You can't back out. You're in debt to them. But, some of this does not include obligation, so fundamentally isn't the same as debt.

I didn't say it wasn't debt. I said it was 20 years worth of spend on something they need regardless of what happens with AI.
