A lot of people didn’t notice it, but it affected a little of people. That was the time of supply-on-demand, just in time manufacturing, rapid prototyping, and a lot of other behind the scenes stuff that was caught up in the bubble. Despite the name, it wasn’t all about websites. It was about unregulated venture capitalism.

Fast forward to AI, and there’s a lot more regulation, and barriers to entry. You’re not getting money thrown at you for having an idea… with AI today; a few well financed companies are spending lots of money on AI and then selling their services to established players to include the AI tagline.

In my view, AI has closer ties to the Cloud Services bubble.
