The Great AI Compute Squeeze: Lawsuits, Memory, Megawatts, and Microdramas

In today’s episode of AI in Flow, Claire and Peter unpack a day where the biggest AI headlines all point to the same reality: AI is becoming a real-world system with real-world constraints. They cover a $75M lawsuit accusing Anthropic of training-data piracy and what it means for procurement and data lineage; Micron’s major HBM memory expansion and why memory is now the bottleneck beneath the GPU story; SK Telecom’s enormous data-centre ambitions and the growing link between national competitiveness and compute capacity; and Apple price rises as AI demand reprices the broader memory stack. Plus: signals from Washington on regulation and public benefit, Moonbeam’s bid to build agent-to-agent settlement infrastructure, China’s surge in fully AI-generated microdramas, India’s push into chip packaging and testing, a bold proposal for AI compute in space, and an Australian court’s warning after AI-fabricated evidence nearly triggered contempt—underscoring the urgent need for governance and verification.About Six & FlowSix & Flow is a digital transformation consultancy helping businesses adapt, grow, and thrive in a fast-changing world.
