Agent swarms are what, a couple of months old? What are you even talking about. Yes, people/humans still drive this stuff, but if you think there isn't useful software out there that can be handily implemented with current gen agents that need very little or no review, then I don't know what to tell you, apart from "you're mistaken". And I say that as someone who uses three tools heavily but has otherwise no stake in them. The copium in this space is real. Everyone is special and irreplaceable, until another step change pushes them out.

The next thing after agent swarms will be swarm colonies and people will go "it's been a month since agentic swarm colonies, give it a month or two". People have been moving the goal posts like that for a couple years now, it's starting to grow stale. This is like self driving cars which were going to be workingin 2016 and replace 80% of drivers by 2017, all over again. People falling for hype instead of admitting that while it appears somewhat useful, nobody has any clue if it's 97% useful or just 3% useful but so far it's looking like the later.

I generally agree, but counterpoint: Waymo is successfully running robocabs in many cities today.

When does it come to Mumbai?
reply
They're launching in London this year. So... 2035?

I would love to see this in Mumbai or Dhaka or something like that, just like thrown in there. Can it move 2 meters without stopping?

Don't take me wrong, I like Waymo but 2035 is probably realistic for the cities in more developing countries.

The whole point is that an agent swarm doesn’t need a month, supposedly.

We're talking about whether the human users have caught up with usage of tech, not the speed of the tech itself.
