🧵: What the AI industry calls "agents" (a marketing term) are essentially software systems that use LLM output as further LLM prompts and as input for interfaces with useful computer systems (so the agent can write files, talk to the network, etc, and isn't just spewing its text into the void).

The way AI is going to “kill everyone” is just by manufacturing consent for ever worse outcomes & conditions, like many governments do. It is a governing technology after all. And like bureaucracy it launders responsibility so the people & institutions who deploy it aren’t accountable for the harms

Today Gadi Eisenkot, hailed as the great center-left hope to replace Netanyahu as Israeli Prime Minister, tweeted, "There is no Palestinian state, and in the government we will form, there will be no Palestinian state." The Israeli center-left is equally onboard with apartheid as the right.
