AI Made Delegation Easy: Structure Is Still the Skill

AI writing code is a force multiplier and amplifies an orgs existing practices. In other words, if you lack structure and are a fan of chaos engineering, then that gets way worse. On the other hand, if you already have god workflows and an overall structure, it'll help you get things done more quickly.

Twenty-six years ago, I landed in a country I'd never visited but somehow already knew. I thought the split existence I'd live, here and there simultaneously, was just the immigrant condition. Turns out, I was early to something much bigger!

If AI generates the content, trains on that content, then deploys agents to navigate that content on your behalf—at what point does your identity become whatever the model consensus decides you are?

The "AI Agents As Employees" paper:
- Promises explainability, admits black boxes
- Calls them teammates, admits they can't reciprocate
- Proposes social contracts with non-agents
- 57 pages, 100 words on identity management
Words matter when liability follows.
