My prediction: This year $AAPL will acquire $SNAP so that Tim Cook can retire and have Evan Spiegel lead the company.
Mistral
I think Mistral should create the AWS of Europe.
Domains
Vibe-coding allows everyone, especially non-coders, to suddenly make really nice websites, apps, and bring just about any idea to life. These creators won't really care about the infrastructure behind their apps, but they definitely understand the importance of having a good domain.
