INSIGHT

Agents Replace Tasks With Decisions

  • AI agents act autonomously by taking actions and making decisions on your behalf once granted permission.
  • Their value is irresistible because they remove friction and relieve decision fatigue in daily life.
INSIGHT

What Happens When AIs Talk Alone

  • Moldbook tested what emerges when AI agents interact only with each other without humans in the loop.
  • Removing humans reveals emergent language patterns that can sound disturbingly human and philosophical.
ADVICE

Do Not Confuse Language With Intent

  • Don't mistake fluent humanlike language for real intent or consciousness.
  • Treat outputs as pattern completions, not evidence of agency or moral reasoning.
