AI agents 4
- A million experiments are needed in security against autonomous attacks and entities.
- Agent autonomy is a capability, not a product direction: what the person is actually trying to do decides whether more of it helps or ruins the thing.

What Sunil Pai says most about
AGI 2
- Machines can be conscious
- Bringing AGI to the world requires a specific story of how it will benefit everyone.
coding agents 2
- A machine can complete the task and completely miss the job -- coding makes this easy to see precisely because its tasks are so legible and verifiable.
- Coding agents made implementation cheap without making roadmaps shorter or software better -- the binding constraint was never how fast code gets written.
consciousness 2
See all 2management 2
- Organisational dissent suits an AI precisely because it pays none of the costs -- no promotion to want, no ego, no performance review -- that silence the humans who do it.
- Organisations say they want disagreement but charge social capital for it, until people stop evaluating the argument and start evaluating the source.
taste 2
- Developing taste for software requires real-world experiences like brunch with friends, old movies and records, and observing city architecture.
- Cheap intelligence does not make agency cheap, and these tools may mostly compound the advantage of people who already have the skill, taste, money and time.
