What started as a few paragraphs to help explain AI to a friend grew into this long article (with reference links). If you have not been watching AI and LLM progress closely, like I have, you may find this background primer helpful.

A (Mostly) Non-Technical AI Primer - HPCwire
I have studied and watched artificial intelligence grow over the last forty years. Like many, back in 1968, I was inspired by HAL 9000 in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. The question on my mi...

See the pattern here, first gpus, then memory, now EV batteries, the AI datacenter FOMO spending is pulling vendors away from traditional markets.

Yes, I just finished something similar, but with links to references and papers. Should be posting by the end of the week, I tried to keep it higher level and not get lost in the "AI weeds"

As I understand the situation, the price of DDR5 memory has tripled (or more) because memory vendors have switched to making more lucrative HBM used on the GPUs that will be placed in unpowered AI systems that are waiting for a data center.

I wrote up my notes from #SC25. Have a look: blog.glennklockwood.com/2025/12/sc25...
I’ll keep picking away at the editing, but would love to hear more from others about what stood out to them. I wasn’t at the conference itself as much this years as in the past, so I know I missed a lot.
