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

      I was thinking that, but figured I’d go for input data instead for the sake of variation.

        Affordable GPUs is a thing of the past I’m afraid. Bubble or not I’m afraid they will never come down.

          They wont come down. Prices are upwardly sticky. Nvidia and the rest have seen that people will pay those inflated prices, so they have no incentive to lower them
