What Stays Human
The agent can draft the message. It cannot want the thing you want. That distinction holds.
Where this goes
Some things do not move. People still want to be understood by other people. The agent can draft the message; it cannot want the thing you want.
When building a small tool costs an afternoon of an agent’s time, people build far more of them. Most never ship to anyone else. The long tail of software gets very long.
A motivated individual with a fleet of agents now covers ground that used to need a team. Coordination cost, not headcount, becomes the binding constraint on what gets built.
As machines produce more, value moves to whatever can check the output — tests, evals, proofs, audits. Verification stops being overhead and quietly becomes the job itself.
