Great article! In my writing, I highlight the same issues but from the ethical perspective. I think the underlying problem is governance implemented without a strong ethical underpinning. There's a huge gap, but the tech has fallen into an echo chamber, so we'd need a discourse shift. We need a whole new vocabulary that's grounded in values. https://substack.com/@entirelyhuman
I know I have said this before, but I must reiterate my gratitude for your thoughtful and penetrating examples and analysis. You possess an uncanny ability to see, define and express critical issues and concerns. Your advice is most helpful, at least for me. Thank you for your time, insights, and recommendations. Your genuine and generous contributions are a tribute to your concern and character. For me, you are the gold standard source of pragmatic solutions. Thank you. I really appreciate your willingness to help guide practitioners just trying to do the right things.
Thanks Dennis, it means a lot to me to receive feedback that what I'm writing about is helpful. It's all the encouragement I need to keep writing and sharing what I'm seeing and doing. Thank you for reading.
Yes, humans in the loop should actually consider what it means for a human to interact with the system, not just put a human somewhere and call it a day.
Fascinating and very thoughtful. Thank you for this.

But this also means we need better Agent control.
