Seventy years of programming is just one move repeated — climb one layer further from the machine. Every layer let us say less and get more, until agents made the opposite true: the further out you stand, the more precisely you have to mean what you say, or the machine decides for you.
Intelligence is deflating to zero and compute is appreciating, at the same time. The neoclouds borrowed long to stand in between, and tonight the credit market noticed.
Anthropic's own agents sit idle 80% of the time, waiting on a human. Not to do the work, to make a call. An army of Claudes, every one asking for a yes. The trouble was never that the machine makes you redundant. It's that you get a finite number of good decisions a day, and the swarm spends them on trivia before you reach the one that matters. Intelligence got cheap. Your judgment is the bottleneck.
