Not sure I follow. But, the first paragraph is interesting. You are saying, employees stick around if they are given easy tickets, and companies care about passing along easy ticke…

If the AI is never going to be manageable, never trustable, then the whole idea of agentic systems is dumb. What is the point of an agent running and you don't trust it? That would…

Indeed. The whole AI game is predicated on the fact that they can deliver work equivalent to humans in some cases. If that is never going to be the case, then this whole agentic st…

How do you verify AWS charges? By inspecting logs? There goes the arbiter. I get the binary part. The biggest difference is the subjective component of outcome? However, a tech pro…

One reason slack exists is because of capacity and utilization, less slack -> higher wait times in peak times. Is slack intended for Employee welfare? Come on, we are talking corpo…

We just give today's human performance metrics to AI agents. AI agent developers internally have a metric they are targeting to improve. That itself violates goodhart law.

Interesting. Let's take the case of infra spend on AWS. Amazon says you invoked serverless calls 100k times and you are charged for it. How are you trusting them?

Understood. So, a better way is to keep him on a retainer? Or let Amazon or Cheaper store do a cost-plus model? I think that is the core of the argument. It is the risk-sharing bet…

The price will be what you are willing to pay. No justification required, excepting for fairness (info asymmetry and what else?). It is written by me. Unfunded bootstrapped !!call …

The agent builder loses contract .. Is this not force enough to make AI worthwhile?

:)

Of course, there is displacement. Jobs evolve.

Yes. Always exists. There neesd to be a secondary mechanism to verify . But, again, such systems already exist. The folk theorem guarantees this. In a repeated game, people crave r…

This is actually what I thought. Although, AI agent developers can capture 1:10 of value delivered - assuming AI agents deliver - but with competiton among Agent builders, the valu…

oversimplified surely, sweeping assumptions.... As much as I hate the assumptions, the worst case scenario is that AI is surely affecting some jobs.

I think what you described would be a good definition of outcome. But, Who bills customers that way if you think about software providers? The prevailing models are fixed fee , hou…

Sure, incentives can be gamed. The same oversight mechanism that applies to humans cannot correct the flaws of AI agents? What do you think is the catch? I am not saying things are…

The same applies to human agents as well. Humans are incentivised differently ? How? The same oversight mechanism that applies to humans cannot correct the flaws of AI agents?

Hi alberth, I'd assume an outcome is a negotiated agreement between buyer and Agent provider. Think of all the n8n workflows. If we take a simple example of Expense receipt process…

I often go back to customer support voice AI agent example. Let's say, The bot can resolve tickets successfully at a certain rate . This is capturable easily. Why is this difficult…

Understood. Take for instance, customer support Agent , that is supposed to resolve tickets. Assuming it resolves around 30% tickets by an objective measure. Do you think that cann…

Some definitions of outcomes I believe are very easy to determine. Even if the outcomes are easy to determine, the outcomes I am certain are negotiated between the buyer and seller…

Hey , As costs vary, I think it becomes even more important to track costs for each task. Also, if costs also vary a lot without usefulness, it becomes difficult to pass these cost…
