Highlight from Why I'm Betting Against AI Agents in 2025
After building AI systems, here’s what I’ve learned:
-
Error rates compound exponentially in multi-step workflows. 95% reliability per step = 36% success over 20 steps. Production needs 99.9%+.
-
Context windows create quadratic token costs. Long conversations become prohibitively expensive at scale.
-
The real challenge isn’t AI capabilities, it’s designing tools and feedback systems that agents can actually use effectively.
