This seems so indisputable and yet is so contentious. The idea that everyone knows everything all the time doesn’t have a lot of supporting evidence. Although it does offer an elegant simplification.
“To believe that the LFI approach is worth doing, you need to believe that there is a whole bunch of things about the system that people don’t know, not just a single vulnerability.

I’m skeptical that a web of embedded, ambient agents could ever operate as a collaborative, person-centered, and coordinated team. Each incentivized to push information, at increasing tempo, for engagement metrics. Agents from different vendors (or even different teams within a single vendor) working at cross purposes.

“This idea that we’ll automate what machines are good at and leave humans to do what humans are good at is a fairly old one, but still quite popular in many fields, including software. A problem is that it ignores the system of the human and computer working together, treating them as separate disregards the cognitive work of the human.”
