[Opinion] AI agent swarms and the new SOMA
I love this. A swarm of agents and the human reduced to a very narrow form of defined decision making (which in itself can be automated) whilst the swarm makes nearly all the decisions. In time, he won't just lose comprehension of what has been built; he'll lose the ability to reason about it at all. Even if he can code, those skills will atrophy, along with the learning that sustains them. He becomes a provider of intent, a consumer of entertainment, an accepter of whatever values the swarm is embedded with. Nothing more. It's a brave new world ... literally. Aldous Huxley wrote the script. LLM/GPTs are the new SOMA. No pill required.
