why are there so many autonomous ai agent orchestration systems? too much! I don't understand! Please explain

IMHO the reason is because engineers can write software but not always solve real problems. It is just easier to put stuff in code to do things with computers. This is the comfort zone. But coming up with something that solves a valuable end-user problem requires understanding what this is. I've been through this thought process many times and I am still struggling (you can check my profile as to why). You can try as…

i think there is a real gap though. autonomous agent are actually very useful and powerful but has huge potential for great damage. proper harnesses are indeed needed to either contain potential damage like sandbox or provide interface for human to actually supervise and intervene.

It’s what the cool kids are doing these days. It’ll pass. Also it’s quite fun to build things around agents and watch them go off to work.

I wish we all collectively worked on one project, especially on an orchestrator tool, where the groundwork is important. people can build on it whatever they want, just dont re-invent the orchestrator!
