Great session from Charlie Giancarlo at @PureStorage at #pureaccelerate. AI is changing our relationship with data. It’s not just about managing your storage, it’s about managing your data. Agree - Customers must think differently about data to unlock new AI driven value.

We’re watching a major inflection point in AI infrastructure where performance alone is no longer the benchmark.

I’m sorry, I just don’t get the “close the window shade” while flying movement. I am not an Amazon box 📦. If this thing is going down, I want to see it.

Great conversation with @ArvindKrishna at @IBM Think about services. He posited that in the future consulting companies will charge for human AND digital workers. The digital workers will bring immense scale to the consulting model. Agree.

Smart move by @IBM to have @lumentechco CEO Kate Kohnson onstage with @ArvindKrishna at @IBM Think! Lumen moves 65% of internet (backbone) traffic through Centurylink fiber acquisitions. The network will increasingly be a bottleneck for AI. Customers need to understand the

Great to hear from @ArvindKrishna at @IBM at #IBMthink2025. “Technology is the source of competitive advantage” agree. Think about the speed of AI development. Remember when the narrative from @MITTechReview was “IT doesn’t matter” seems pretty silly now.

Great to connect with the @MarketWatch team to discuss the @IDC outlook for tech.

Great post @sarbjeetjohal. I give credit to Jensen and @nvidia for always staying true to this philosophy. Even when they were “just a graphics company” @nvidia has always been focused on devs. This is the moat that they leverage with CUDA.
“I rarely call us a GPU company, what we make is a GPU, but I think of Nvidia as a computing company. If you are computing company, the most important thing you think about is developers. If you are chip company, the most important thing you think about is chip." . says Jensen
