Description
Hello, I wanted to share with you all a interactive map of the economics and physics constraints of the AI buildout. It has macro drivers, industrial chokepoints, and where that shows up in markets.I've added 393 nodes and 562 edges to capture other supply / physics constraints as well.There's no sign up, and no pay wall, it's all free.Please let me know what you think!

Could you build this?
Partial The interactive graph visualization is standard frontend development (e.g., Cytoscape, D3, or React Flow), but curating and maintaining 393 nodes and 562 edges of macroeconomic and physics supply chain data requires deep domain research.
What it would actually take: The frontend is easily implemented using React and a graph rendering library like Sigma.js, Cytoscape, or React Flow, backed by a simple SQLite or Postgres database storing nodes, edges, and metadata. The hard requirement is the proprietary industry analysis, continuous gathering of semiconductor manufacturing bottlenecks, electrical grid constraints, and specialized hardware pricing to populate a credible supply chain model.
