Human Agentcy, by @kteare

https://t.co/LRqjwOqDjZ

Agents and Humans. Who's in Charge?

[Keith Teare @kteare]

What if this is not AI evolution, but human evolution?

Keith's point: the tool becomes part of how we think and act. The capability becomes ours.

[Keith Teare @kteare]

Agents are not autonomous creatures.

Keith's thesis: they are assistants that actually do things. That is why "Human Agentcy" matters.

[Keith Teare @kteare]

This is what "agent" means when it is real.

Not a chatbot answer. A workflow that changed its rules, reran the logic, and produced a valuation report that would have taken days.

AI revenue stories are about to meet audited accounts.

Keith's point: once OpenAI or Anthropic files an S-1, private-market narratives become public-market accounting.

Human Agentcy https://t.co/isxbdmCIeg

[Keith Teare @kteare]

"The end of labor means the end of paid slavery."

Keith's future-of-work argument is not that humans become useless. It is that paid necessity can shrink, if society solves abundance and allocation.

[Keith Teare @kteare]

Fear of AI can be rational.

The danger is turning fear into resentment: demonizing achievement, attacking builders, and giving up the pressure to build.

Keith calls that the abandonment of agency.

[Keith Teare @kteare]

If AI can beat the work, what was scarce?

Keith's provocation is sharp: great artists still find audiences. AI mostly exposes work whose value came from limited tools, not irreplaceable human taste.

[Keith Teare @kteare]

The Musk/OpenAI trial did not stop the IPO story.

Keith's point: the real question is revenue ramp, Anthropic competition, and whether investors still believe OpenAI owns the platform.

@credistick @msuster I'd argue that the tenacity and guile needed to get a cold meeting far outweigh persuading somebody to intro you.

[Keith Teare @kteare]

@adamshuaib The key is to get an efficiency score. How often do those attributes lead to success (defined by some threshold) versus when they do not.

Otherwise we migh think all "nutters" are gold :-)

Passive investing for the win in public markets.

Now we need to see this in private markets…

@mikebutcher Well, could be. But I don’t think profit is corrupting unless the person can be corrupted. Amodei has been doing some strange things with pricing and features the past 4 weeks

[Keith Teare @kteare]

AI is unlikely to wake up and decide to kill us.

Unless humans want it to.

Jonathan Rauch's closing frame is the right one: the danger is not autonomous malfeasance. It is whether humans handle powerful tools maturely.

Jobs can disappear.

Work does not.

That is the harder future-of-work argument: not whether every role survives, but what humans do when specific jobs stop being the container for useful work.
