But what if the AI agent has a 5% chance of adding a bug to that feature? Surely before any feature was completely bug free

It is the same with the global financial system

Amazing. Would be cool to see agents end up trading at varrock bank like during the old days. Sort of a facebook/moltbook equivalent - wonder how genuine it would feel

Imagine throwing orders of magnitude more of compute at things - we may have things like a monte carlo tree search for LLM outputs using an LLMJudge that prunes the tree.

On the one hand it is a wholesome article. On the other hand - so much wasted potential of people squeezing out the last bits when competing. Nash equilibria can suck

I hope the best for them and the people they compete against. Thanks for sharing.

An agent is an LLM + a tool call loop - it is quite a step up in terms of value in my experience

Agents with their agent money - get ready for new legal structures and a bifurcation of the economy: agentic and human.

Who knows…

Anyone tried setting up a modestly sized tech company where employees are randomly placed into various seniority roles at the start of each year? Of course considering capabilities and some business continuity concerns…

Could work with a bunch of similarly skilled people in a narrow niche

What meta structure allows us to get rid of rent seeking behavior?

I don’t have an answer - is there scientific research on this?

Taxation? Loopholes will be found.

Lawfare against it? Lobbying will win.

I am amazed by capitalism, but at the same time it is a ruthless machine - and in democratic countries it is highly unlikely that a single political party can force the machine into a new direction. Perhaps that is a very nice feature, at the cost of also having to tolerate rent seeking, but it sure as hell sucks to see these downsides.

Find coworking spaces targeted at digital nomads. Pick spacious airbnb apartments - important to have this as a backup for calls when the coworking space does not work out. Stay somewhere for at least one month, ideally 3 months. Japan is very nice. Portugal is alright. More rural places can be nice. Avoid most coffee shops.. Time zone differences can be very painful.
