    @buccocapitalYou can pretty quickly see how we could spend massive, massive amount of money and have basically zero improvement in productivity. Just a doom loop of agents advocating for their masters to haggle it out for a few cumtokens in the digital arena
    @dickcit’s interesting how many of the responses to this thread only see the first derivative “positive” societal/productivity response and not the obvious second derivative net negatives. as an easy example, since there is now no added friction for me to make 22 dinner reservations instead of one and have my agent cancel the 21 we decide we don’t want just before the 24 hour cancellation deadline (or whatever incremental hurdle is put up in front of me), you quickly see how it will ruin any semblance of normalcy for restaurants and the reaction will be (a) as you intuit, agents on the other side duking it out, (b) restaurants charging you just to make a reservation since it is now high friction for them to manage the increasing number of late cancellations, (c) other outcome that makes it hard for a person to just book a table somewhere next week. it will happen quickly because of the speed with which these make it zero friction for me to add LOTS of friction for others and broadly.
    @GergelyOroszAssuming AI agents like the below one go mainstream what happens: 1. These AI agents generate 10x or more email volume, machine gunning emails to companies/humans to try and get what they want 2. Said companies eventually either ignore email, or set up an AI to deal with it…
    @typesfastAI agents are amazing. An engineer I was recruiting in 2014 who never replied to some days I suggested we meet up just replied with “sorry for the delay, how does next Thursday work”
