> A bad employee loses money until a manager notices. A bad agent loses money at machine speed, around the clock, on every channel at once, and files a beautiful report about it.
> When banks are asked to finance businesses that are run in part by agents, what proof will they accept? A dashboard? A screenshot? A performance report written by the same agent that spent the money? No underwriter on earth should accept that. Eventually none will.
Good, that's exactly what we need. People believe Big AI companies way too much. We need loud, widely-published stories of AI agents making horrible decisions and wrapping them in beautifully-formatted reports, so that a layman working with AI knows it will lie with the straight face, and even that smart-looking, cleanly formatted report might have a completely incorrect content.
