In the future, which I guess is now, John-types will have to decide between wrangling agents, or being tool calls for things agents can’t themselves do. I’m not at all against AI, however very intelligent people are empowering corporate masters with very little empathy for humans not fit for this brave new world. I only participate on this site, for example, because there are rare gems contributed by wonderful people. I have fomo because of that. It’s getting rarer and rarer and I think I’m approaching the limits of what my fomo will tolerate.
