The graph of cumulative repos over time is really interesting — it looks like we may be approaching the end of the S-curve for AI hype. I wonder if the graph will continue to flatten, or if there will be a much higher, longer, slower, and more enduring S curve. I imagine a similar double S curve pattern occurred after 2001 in web. Anyone have ideas for how I could measure this for 1995-2015 web?
