Your company just spent 18 months debating Claude versus ChatGPT. Multiple pilots running. Zero competitive advantage. Welcome to the $250 billion AI waste pile.

This week: why 95% of companies are selecting tools before defining strategy—and funding their competitors' success. Ray Dalio's bubble warning and why this is railway mania, not tulip mania. Nvidia's 100,000 robo-taxis signal AI is moving from screen to street.

The Société Générale disaster: 400 AI professionals, 300 use cases, tens of millions wasted. And the number that should terrify you: 45% of executives think AI is paying off. Only 27% of middle managers agree. That 18-point gap is your early warning system flashing red.
