I understand that standing up memory fabrication plants is no small feat, but how much of this is due to memory fabricators' patent moat? To what degree is this caused by IP barriers vs. the diff…

I struggle to see the difference between "Let AI do that" and what a founder/executive is instinctively led to do also (i.e. delegate). Why does it have to be an ADHD thing? Yes, I see …
