How’s it going? The Wall Street Journal looked at five “agents” that are totally in real production use, guys. Three of the “agents” generate plans under close human supervision. Two of the “agents” are chatbots — showing how the real future of agents is simply to rebrand existing systems as “agents.” Or they’ll be “AGI” — A Guy Instead. [WSJ]

Seriously. Everyone putting money on this is a total schmuck.

    I'm afraid they're putting so much money into it, that it becomes too big to fail. The behemoths will push onwards, but the smallest investors will lose.

    The end-game for AI (and Crypto, increasingly) is to incorporate into federal systems and financial systems in such a way that they can't be removed without gutting departments or upsetting major donors.

    These are entirely parasitic organizations. They only exist to deplete the assets of the organizations they latch onto.
