Allbirds (BIRD), a shoe company, announced a pivot to AI infrastructure, causing the stock to pump massively (e.g., from $10 to $23). The community views this as the ultimate sign of an AI bubble and "utter fucking nonsense," comparing it to the Pets.com dot-com bubble era. The pump is purely speculative and fundamentally disconnected from the company's core business, making it a prime short candidate once the hype fades. The AI hype is currently irrational and could continue to squeeze shorts before reality sets in.
