internet drama about agency, my plea for more positive sum thinking in healthcare “innovation,” and a plug for our Slow Security mini conference ft. Anthropic.
"Problems of Personhood" is a great phrase to explain the things AI won't be able to do. Love it.
This is the correct take btw
re: agency, didn't see "procrastination". Some things just roll on if you/your agent take the first step. This is the biggest unlock for me personally
Taking Yoni's inside on agents for personal productivity to a logical conclusion:
There are 2 kinds of activities in writing software - human-facing and AI-facing.
In personal productivity applications - AI dominates. In enterprise systems - humans dominate.
Since agents have limited application in personal productivity - humans will continue to dominate the cost of developing and supporting software
you are amongst the most thoughtful - keep it up Yoni.
Combining section 1 and 2: something like 30+% of all Rx prescribed by doctors are never picked up by patients, issue is not simply copayments,
