The writing was always the cheap part Last December, quite unrealistically, I took a solemn oath: I would not write again about AI for at least another year. I was growing tired with the incessant noise, the lack of stability, and the sel...

Agentic swarms are an org-chart delusion The "agentic swarm" vision of productivity is comfortingly familiar. Which should be an immediate red flag... You take the existing corporate hierarchy, you replace the bottom layers with a swarm of AI agents, and you keep humans around as supervisors. It's an org chart with robots instead of interns. The

The β€œswarm of agents” model assumes work naturally splits into roles: marketing, sales, support, development = basically mirroring human job titles.

But those titles and siloes are a byproduct of org scaling, not a universal truth about work.
