Everyone is building agents. You should build escape hatches.
We are living through the most expensive group hallucination in tech history.
Every SaaS now has a chatbot stapled to it. Every CEO is an "AI thought leader" on LinkedIn. Every startup pitch deck is just the words "autonomous," "agentic," and "10x" in different fonts. NVIDIA could buy a small country. OpenAI burns through more cash in a quarter than NASA did getting to the moon.
And for what? So you can generate slightly worse emails, slightly faster?
Look, I love AI. I actually build with it. But I have been around long enough to know what a bubble smells like. It smells like free credits, unearned confidence, and a thousand wrappers around the same API call.
