Complexity Cliff

Complexity Cliff (in GenAI)
noun: A critical threshold in generative AI where reasoning models (e.g., Claude, DeepSeek-R1) collapse under high-complexity tasks, shifting from accurate problem-solving to complete failure, as coined by Sadagopan S of HCLTech in June 2025.
"Our GenAI tool/model hit the complexity cliff when it couldn’t handle the multi-variable forecast—time to blend in human oversight!"

Strategy Industrial Complex

The term coined by Sadagopan Singam refers to the self reinforcing ecosystem of research firms, consulting companies, analysts, and influencers that shape and often amplify corporate narratives - especially around emerging topics like GenAI, Digital Transformation,ESG and Innovation Strategy etc. It represents how these players mutually benefit from creating frameworks, maturity models, buzzwords, and “thought leadership” which companies feel compelled to adopt, often without sufficient diligence or grounding in real business impact!
The strategy industrial complex thrives on fear based messaging - if you are not on the latest trend, you are behind - creating a self sustaining demand for playbooks and advisory services!

The Ronin Complex

1. A psychological or social state where a person stands firm in their belief or opinion, convinced of their absolute correctness, even when they are met with universal hatred, opposition, and disagreement from every other individual.

2. The unshakable conviction that you are the sole champion of truth, while everyone else is lost, flawed, or simply an idiot. This person has willingly or accidentally become a "ronin"—a lone, masterless warrior—of their own flawed opinion.

3. The rare social phenomenon where an entire group of people achieves perfect consensus on only one issue: the fact that a single, stubbornly confident person is completely wrong.
I tried to show him the math, but he's got a classic case of The Ronin Complex—he's decided he's a lone wolf intellectual and the rest of us are sheep

Don't even try to argue with her about the new marketing plan; she's deep in The Ronin Complex and is convinced our entire team is just too small-minded to see her genius.

complex behavior

When an AI tries too hard to be smart, resulting in hilariously dumb, repetitive, or just plain wrong actions. Think of a supposedly advanced enemy AI that gets stuck on a rock, endlessly repeats the same attack animation, or runs away from the player for no reason. Often caused by overly complicated behavior trees or state machines that the devs didn't fully test.
That boss was supposed to be a strategic genius, but his complex behavior just made him run into walls and heal me instead of attacking – total artificial stupidity!
