I really appreciate that they called out and separated some hype vs. practice, specifically with regards to Agents. This is something I keep hoping works better than it does, and in practice every attempt I've taken in this direction leads to disappointment.
I feel like lots of paper are getting published and reviewed which is good as bad ideas don’t get to propagate for ages
We've spun off a company to realize the vision of bringing an open-source, standardized framework to the PHP ecosystem, where we've been building apps for communities for over a decade. It's "AI for the rest of us", but at the same time promoting positive collaboration between communities and AI. It also involves micropayments for tasks done by either an AI or human agent.
If you're a VC or an expert in the space, I'd love to get feedback on this: https://engageusers.ai/ecosystem.pdf
And if you want to get involved in any capacity, whether as an investor or developer, please email me greg at the domain engageusers.ai -- this time around we are planning to take on venture capital funding for this project, and syndicate a round later this summer.
