Agreed. Color me skeptical. All of the interactions and decisions described are plausible, but in my experience with AI agents, they would require frequent human intervention.

I heard they're working on putting an interface together for the public to check up on. Their blogs always have a bunch of screenshots of the interactions with the agents, so I think they'll be pretty transparent with this

What do you mean you heard? Are you not a member of their team? Your posts in the last hour seem quite astroturf-y.

The user's name is the name of an Anton Labs project [0]. Furthermore, the fact that the user is inconsistently bad at formatting, punctuation and capitalisation of their messages makes me suspect the user itself may be agentic-LLM-based, with a badly calibrated layer of "obfuscation" to pretend to be an oh-so-imperfect human.

Why are you speaking with such faux-uncertainty without disclosing your relationship with Andon Labs?
