As artificial intelligence matures, its boundaries become clearer — not smaller. This analysis examines why limits are signs of maturity rather than failure, separates structural constraints from temporary gaps, and explains why understanding boundaries shapes smarter adoption strategies.
Mainstream adoption marks the end of novelty — and the beginning of realism. This analysis examines how AI maturity redefines success metrics, forces selective adoption over 'AI everywhere' thinking, and why operational reality now sets the boundaries for what organizations expect from artificial intelligence.
After AI went mainstream, organizations discovered the real challenge wasn't the technology. This analysis examines why scaling AI reveals organizational weaknesses, why partial adoption creates more complexity than value, and why integration is fundamentally a management discipline rather than a technical one.
As artificial intelligence became ordinary, responsibility shifted inside the organization. This analysis examines why effective AI governance now depends less on regulation and more on everyday management practice.
Once AI became ordinary, its weaknesses became impossible to ignore. This analysis examines the friction points, accountability gaps, and integration challenges that emerged after AI's mainstream adoption—and why the next phase will be defined by restraint rather than expansion.

Despite Nvidia's record earnings, the AI trade experienced its most dramatic sell-off in years. Ray Dalio warns of a bubble, Michael Burry shorts the sector, and a new metaphor captures the terrifying truth: AI infrastructure might be 'digital lettuce'—perishable goods with expiration dates nobody wants to admit.
Nvidia crushed Q3 FY2026 expectations with $57 billion in revenue and booming Blackwell chip demand. But beneath the triumphant headlines lies a troubling paradox: circular investments totaling $53 billion, GPU depreciation concerns from Michael Burry, supply chain fragility, and unprecedented capital intensity. The earnings beat doesn't disprove the AI bubble—it reinforces it. Strong fundamentals and bubble valuations can coexist, just as Amazon was both revolutionary and overvalued in 1999.
Nvidia's 295% surge and the AI stock boom have created $10 trillion in new wealth—but 50% of it went to the wealthiest 1% who own half of all stocks.
