My favorite example is watching the company “C3” evolve over time in it’s NPR ads:
> Originally the "C" in the company's name was a reference to "carbon" and the "3" was a reference to "measure, mitigate and monetize" because the company's original goal was to help manage corporate carbon footprints.[3] For some time in 2016 the company was named C3IoT and before that was briefly named C3 Energy

And yes, now they are C3.ai
The AI hype cycle will only be complete when they change their name.
