Ethan Mollick's new position is that organising agents is not the hard part, because most of management exists to solve problems agents do not have. Information hoarding. Turf protection. Humans bring those along. Software leaves them behind.
This week on 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐈 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧:
𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬. 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐀𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐭.
When organising work gets cheap, the list of things worth attempting grows. His phrase for the result is an infinite backlog, and somebody still has to choose what goes at the top of it.
Inside the episode:
🔴 Google freezing its open source bug bounty after a flood of automated submissions, the vast majority invalid
🔴 Apple requiring very explicit user action before an app receives Full Disk Access, because of what always on agents can reach
🔴 Eight personal agents compared side by side, features converged, and only two letting you bring your own model
🔴 A shelf life of about six months on the messaging app trick that currently sets some of them apart
🔴 The move: ten things you never had the capacity for, and one you hand to an agent
Effort is getting cheap. Attention is the thing to budget now. 🎙️
