While solutions are plentiful, most AI projects collapse not because of bad models. They don’t work because teams never agreed on the problem, the goal or how the work would fit the real tasks. For the last year, I’ve been watching the same patterns repeat across sectors as early adopters in generative AI pop up throughout industries and signal positive early signs of productivity.

#artificialintelligence · #digitaltransformation · #productivity · #aigovernance · #responsibleai · #aiadoption
In this article, I break down the actual causes of failure, highlight recent cases dating from 2023 to right now and provide fresh data on just how generative AI is proliferating across the workforce. I also examine early signs of productivity increases, and detail how clear goals, sound data use and careful operational design continue to determine whether an A.I. project will succeed or not.

If you’re planning your next AI project, these words of wisdom could help you pause, re-establish a solid foundation and concentrate on matters that count before writing any code.

I’m interested: what/all of these points do you see all too often in your own company or client work?

And what do you think teams still underestimate when they embark on an AI project?

Exidion is to give a new governance model that exists outside the computational stack, make decisions based on principles sourced from several scientific domains, thus providing mankind with stable and transparent method of directing advanced technology. A meta discourse. Good Luck Christina Hoffmann

𝗔𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻’𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝘅 𝗶𝘁𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗘𝘅𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀.

People keep asking what Exidion does.
Here’s the clearest explanation.

𝟭. 𝗪𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗔𝗚𝗜.
We don’t fix AI.
We don’t align LLMs.
We don’t operate inside the model stack at all.

Because the current paradigm cannot be fixed from within.
It was built on one partial truth:
reducing intelligence to brain-like computation.

Useful, yes, but radically incomplete.

𝟮. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵. 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆.

Today’s AI has:

•	no real context
•	no human dynamics
•	no values or meaning
•	no legal or ethical grounding
•	no cultural or developmental understanding

It predicts patterns. Nothing more.
It was built through one narrow cognitive lens and 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱.

𝟯. 𝗘𝘅𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵.

Today that means AI.
Tomorrow: autonomous agents or robots. 

This layer won’t generate answers, it will 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗼𝗻-𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮.

𝟰. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗮 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿.

AI took ~80 years to reach today’s level.
Governance for agentic systems needs something that has never existed:

A unified grammar across:

•	epistemics
•	ontology
•	developmental + cognitive psychology
•	neuroscience
•	cultural anthropology
•	AI research
•	law + ethics
•	systems + complexity science
•	governance science

Over 15+ scientific domains fused into one framework to define the rules that can govern intelligence.

This foundational work takes minimum 5–8 years if done properly.

But it creates governance that is:

	•	transparent
	•	peer-reviewed
	•	culturally aware
	•	psychologically informed
	•	globally applicable

Not another intelligence that can “learn itself into the wrong direction”.

𝟱. 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗜 ‘𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀’ 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻’𝘁 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.

Companies impose ad-hoc rules.
No shared science.
No principles.
Just “don’t help build bombs.”

That’s not governance, it’s basic risk filtering.

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹-𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗺, 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Exidion isn’t an AI project.

𝗘𝘅𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 - 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁. 

Once this layer exists, it will redefine how humanity and technology coexist: 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁, 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

This is the work.

This is Exidion.

I find this post enlightening and even open eyes for extreme support of hype for the sake of AI-INNOVATION.

Founder & CEO, Curiouser.AI | Berkeley Instructor | Building Values-Based, Human-Centered AI | LinkedIn Top Voice in AI

How Meta Keeps $27 Billion Off Its Balance Sheet
A tactic similar to Enron’s, though in this case, apparently perfectly legal.

Meta needs $27 billion to build a massive AI data center in Louisiana called Hyperion.¹

But taking on $27B in debt directly would look terrible: it depresses returns, invites scrutiny, and raises real questions.

Solution: Do what Enron did. Put the debt somewhere else.

Blue Owl Capital created a special-purpose company called Beignet Investor LLC.²

Beignet issued $27B in bonds, with PIMCO as the anchor lender.³
Blue Owl owns 80% of the data center. Meta owns 20%.⁴

Meta still gets 100% of the compute. They just call the payments “rent.”
Beignet uses that rent to repay the $27B in debt.

**The debt never shows up on Meta’s balance sheet.**⁵

Yet investors treated the bonds like Meta’s anyway, the 2049 maturity bonds came in at A+ from S&P, strengthened by a Meta “backstop guarantee” if lease partners exit.⁶

Then Meta raised another $30 billion in traditional bonds days later.⁷

Total: $60B in a single month.

PIMCO has already netted over $2 billion in paper gains as the bonds trade above 110 cents on the dollar.⁸

As Gil Luria at D.A. Davidson put it:

**“The term special purpose vehicle came to consciousness about 25 years ago with a little company called Enron.”**⁹

And Meta isn’t alone. This is the financing engine behind the entire AI boom.

• Hyperscalers have taken on $121 billion in debt over the past year
a 300%+ jump from normal levels.¹⁰

• Tech firms are projected to raise $1.5 trillion in debt by 2028 to fund data centers.¹¹

• JPMorgan estimates Alphabet, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, and Oracle will need $570B in capex in 2026 alone, up from $125B in 2021.¹²

• Big Tech will spend $400B on AI infrastructure this year, roughly half their total cash flow.¹³
• OpenAI plans $1.4 trillion in data center spending across eight years.¹⁴

Paul Kedrosky calls it:
**“The first bubble that combines all bubbles.”**¹⁷

The uncomfortable question: What are we actually financing?

Because the infrastructure is real.

But the ROI?

• MIT: 95% of companies see zero financial return from generative AI projects.¹⁵
• McKinsey: Nearly 80% report no measurable bottom-line impact.¹⁶

• S&P’s Ruth Yang:

**“We’re funding 20–30 year data center deals for a technology that may be obsolete in five.”**¹⁹

We are watching a 2008-style financial engineering cycle wrapped around a technology delivering a 5% enterprise success rate.

Hard to know what's real other then the debt.

Every tech shift looks stupid… until it becomes obvious.
Calculators then. AI now.

In school, I watched a teacher argue that calculators would “destroy real thinking.”

She said the same sentence every time someone pulled one out:

“If the machine does the work, how will you learn?”

Funny thing is…
We still learned.
We just stopped wasting time on stuff the tool could do faster.

And that’s exactly what’s happening with AI today.

Teams aren’t scared of AI.
They’re scared of admitting they’ve been solving the wrong problems.

Here’s the truth no one likes to say out loud:

→ AI won’t replace your job.
↳ It will replace the version of your job that hasn’t evolved yet.

The moment you stop treating AI like a threat and start treating it like a teammate, everything changes.

Here are 3 simple moves you can steal today:

✓ Stop doing “calculator work.”

If AI can do it faster, let it.

Your value comes from judgment, not manual tasks.

Start delegating 30% of your recurring work to an AI agent this week.

✓ Build a thinking layer.

Most people dump tasks into AI and complain about bad output.

Top performers create a 3-step prompt:
↦ Context
↦ Goal
↦ Quality bar

This makes AI work like a junior analyst who finally gets it.

✓ Redesign one workflow a month.

Not a tool.

A workflow.

Pick something painful in your team and rebuild it with AI in the loop.

That’s how real ROI shows up — not from random tools, but from rebuilt processes.

The people who complained about calculators didn’t stop the future.

They only slowed down their own progress.

AI is the new calculator.

The only question is: are you still doing long division by hand?

What’s one workflow you know you should have rebuilt with AI by now?

♻️ Repost to help someone finally stop doing “calculator work.”

𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗨𝗧𝗘 𝗜𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠 𝗢𝗙 𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗣𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗥.
𝗪𝗘’𝗥𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗬 𝗣𝗔𝗦𝗧 “𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗗.”
𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟 𝗤𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗜𝗦: 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗦𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗜𝗚𝗡𝗧𝗬?
In the last 48 hours, a shift happened that most people still haven’t processed:
The United States authorized the export of advanced AI chips to the UAE.
For many, it’s “tech news.”
For those who understand sovereign power—𝗜𝗧’𝗦 𝗔 𝗚𝗘𝗢𝗣𝗢𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗟 𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗛𝗤𝗨𝗔𝗞𝗘..

Because this isn’t about chips.
It isn’t about licensing.
It isn’t about who gets what model.
It’s about who controls compute—the raw national horsepower that determines:
• who trains the most advanced AI
• who sets global technological standards
• who automates industry, energy, security, and defense
• who becomes dependent on foreign adversaries
• and ultimately, who survives the next technological era

Let’s be clear:
𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗨𝗧𝗘 = 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿.
𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗨𝗧𝗘 = 𝗴𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.
𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗨𝗧𝗘 = 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘁𝘆.

And the UAE positioned itself exactly where the world wasn’t looking:
inside the next frontier of American strategic partnership.
While others debated timelines and sci-fi doom scenarios, the UAE quietly built:
• a national AI campus
• hyperscale data centers
• energy-rich compute hubs
• sovereign digital infrastructure
• a space program aligned with AI + industrial capacity
• partnerships with NVIDIA, Microsoft, Oracle, OpenAI, Cisco, AMD, Cerebras

This is not “access.”
This is ascent.

And yes—most people will completely miss what just happened.
Because they’re still asking the wrong question:
“What happened?”

The real question—the one that determines the next decade of power—is:
𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗦𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗜𝗚𝗡𝗧𝗬?
The UAE just gave the world the answer.
Whether anyone else follows is a different story.

THE UAE NEGOTIATION

from my esteemed friend and  professional Christina Hoffmann ⚡⚡⭐⭐

𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗽𝘀𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗹𝘆. 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆.

I’m sharing this openly, without drama and without pretending strength where support is actually needed.

Over the past years, I’ve worked at the intersection of psychology, behaviour and AI-adjacent systems.

What I keep seeing is the same structural risk:

𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀. 

Exidion exists to address exactly that gap.
Not to build technology faster.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗮 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲.

What prompted me was a growing sense of alarm, not excitement.

The vitality comes from something very simple and very old: 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆.

I’m not driven by optimism or fear, but by the realization that once large-scale systems are deployed, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁.

It is not about stopping progress, but to anchor it in psychological reality, human development and governance that actually understands people.

𝗜’𝗺 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗹𝘆.

Some planned investments for November and December are delayed.
They are not gone, but timing matters.

Right now, I’m bridging a short-term operational gap to keep Exidion fully functional into January.

This is not a round.
This is not a pitch.
𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝘀.

Sometimes, continuity is protected through many small acts of alignment.

If Exidion resonates with you, 
If you believe this work should continue to exist, 
If you want to support something that works before it becomes obvious why it was necessary

Here is how support can happen:

• Switzerland: via TWINT
• International: via PayPal
• Any amount helps, even small contributions matter
• If you prefer: send me a DM and I’ll share details directly

This is about protecting a fragile, but necessary layer of work while larger structures catch up.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗱.
