Critini Analyst: HBM Bringing Structural Change to DRAM Market, AI Memory Supercycle Emerging
June 14 – Jukan, an analyst at Critini Research, says HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) is sparking a structural shift in the DRAM market’s long-term trajectory. From roughly 1957 to 2020, the cost per gigabit of DRAM dropped by an order of magnitude roughly every five years. But surging demand for HBM, stoked by the AI boom, has upended that entire pattern. Manufacturers are diverting vast amounts of capacity to HBM—a more complex, silicon footprint-intensive technology—causing a tight supply of mainstream DRAM and a sharp price reversal. Data indicates that DRAM’s long-term price had fallen steadily on a logarithmic scale, but is projected to climb higher post-2023–2024, reflecting the rise of an AI-driven memory supercycle.

Bridgewater's Ray Dalio Long Article on Decision-Making in the AI Era: Principled Thinking Must Parallel AI, Human Insight Irreplaceable
June 14th: Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, published a lengthy article outlining his framework for principled decision-making in the age of artificial intelligence. Dalio emphasizes that investing is a “zero-sum and additive game,” where widely known information holds little value. This means even advanced AI insights aren’t meant to be followed blindly—unique human understanding and perspective remain irreplaceable.
Over Bridgewater’s 50-year history, the firm’s core experience shows decisions must be based on logical, straightforward standards that blend principled thinking with AI. Principled decision-making isn’t about gut feelings: it involves examining and systematizing decision criteria, deeply thinking through context and causality, documenting those standards, backtesting historical performance wherever possible, then translating them into a computerized, automated system. Crucially, these standards shouldn’t come from data mining or simple AI queries—they need
