Aaron is one of the few CEOs of an incumbent enterprise software company thinking deeply in public about what AI means for the entire enterprise stack. There are a lot of people who are building companies from the ground up with AI, others who are dragging their feet adapting existing enterprises to it, and then there’s Aaron. He sits in a kind of Goldilocks zone, enthusiastic…

While browsing our website a few weeks ago, I stumbled upon “How and When the Memory Chip Shortage Will End” by Senior Editor Samuel K. Moore. His analysis focuses on the current DRAM shortage caused by AI hyperscalers’ ravenous appetite for memory, a major constraint on the speed at which large language models run. Moore provides a clear explanation of the shortage, particularly for high bandwidth memory (HBM).As we and the rest of the tech media have documented, AI is a resource hog. AI electricity consumption could account for up to 12 percent of all U.S. power by 2028. Generative…
