                 Stockpiling drove memory prices higher, which was beneficial for memory companies. But the buying bonanza dried up in 2022 and 2023, as RTO mandates rained down and inflation ticked up. As a result, some companies cut production by up to 50% to stabilize prices.

                 Even though demand rebounded in late 2023, the Big Three couldn’t shake the bad…memory of getting burned on supply. Storage and memory expert Thomas Coughlin told IEEE Spectrum, “There was little or no investment in new production capacity in 2024 and through most of 2025.” Last year, the shortage arrived.

                 maybe getting their happily ever after. Bloomberg reported that WBD might reconsider Paramount Skydance’s hostile offers, as the Ellison-backed company tries to boot Netflix out of the acquisition picture. This comes after Paramount sent over yet another sweetened offer on Feb. 10, which has some members of the Warner Bros. board wondering if Paramount could “offer a path to a superior deal,” according to the outlet. However, it also reported that the board has not decided whether or not it will leave Paramount on read.

OpenClaw’s first iteration, Clawdbot, launched late last year, but Steinberger already impressed Altman with his offering of AI agents that can complete tasks and make decisions without constant human oversight. In the announcement last night, Altman called Steinberger a “genius” and said that OpenClaw would “live in a foundation as an open source project that OpenAI will continue to support.” Hmm, kind of like a crustacean in a shell.—
