Comments on: IBM Takes The Patient Path To Future GenAI Profits https://www.nextplatform.com/2025/01/30/ibm-takes-the-patient-path-to-future-genai-profits/ In-depth coverage of high-end computing at large enterprises, supercomputing centers, hyperscale data centers, and public clouds.

Texas?) trains AI brains on GPUs, risking losing its sails in the process, Moulin Rouge-style ( https://www.foxnews.com/world/sails-iconic-moulin-rouge-windmill-paris-collapse-ground-lost-his-soul ).

No such emotional distraction here, just steady GenAI consulting, software, SerDes-attached memory, and Spyre Gyra accelerated jazz fusion ( https://www.nextplatform.com/2020/09/03/the-memory-area-network-at-the-heart-of-ibms-power10/ ). There’s something to be said for the non-folly of a temperate fox, wearing a red hat (I think)! 8^b
