Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff says the SaaSpocalypse is 'crazy nonsense' - and Jensen Huang agrees with him

When both a top SaaS CEO and the dominant GPU supplier dismiss a "SaaSpocalypse," they’re telling enterprise buyers that AI is an augmentation layer on existing platforms, not a wholesale reset.

Tech & InnovationTrump Has Few Good Options to Slow China’s Rise as AI Superpower
US–China AI competition is now constrained less by rhetoric and more by the limits of export controls, supply chains, and allied coordination. Multinationals with exposure to both ecosystems need a dual-stack plan for compute, models, and talent that can survive policy whiplash over the next 2–4 years.
Tech & InnovationBoox just dropped three new devices: Meet the Palma 3, Note Air6 C, and Note Mini C
Boox pushing three new color E Ink devices at once is another data point that “always-on, low-power, readable” is a real hardware niche alongside OLED slabs. If your product depends on long-form reading or note-taking, treat E Ink as a first-class surface for your app and AI features, not an afterthought.
Tech & InnovationAnalysis: only ~2.3 GW of planned data center capacity is delayed by direct project-level policies like local moratoriums and New York's data center EO
The bottleneck isn’t moratorium headlines — it’s where 20 GW of planned capacity intersects 300+ fragmented local regimes, with only ~1.5 GW actually slipping so far per SemiAnalysis. Infra teams should model permitting and local politics as probabilistic drag, not absolute blockers, and diversify siting rather than waiting for clean policy wins.
