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 can’t wait for the bubble to burst, so we can finally get affordable GPU’s again

      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

      It’s been what, 10 years? It wasn’t AI that jumped up the prices, before it was crypto, After this it will be something else.
