A couple of others I can think of:

  • Crypto-boom of 2016ish: GPUs/mining rigs
  • LLM/AI hype nowish: User generated data
  • 90’s dotcom bubble: Server space

    There was a company started recently to leverage AI and its trends prediction to stage what people need where they need it. Floods? Gyprock. Weather coming into California? Tents and bottled water near the school fields.

    It predicts conflict by recommending first aid supplies staged near a border.

    Absolutely mercenary, it opens its sales windows only when ‘surge’ pricing is allowable. You’re gonna be paying 3, 4 times the regular drywall cost.
