Mark Zuckerberg reportedly told Meta staff that the company’s AI agents are progressing more slowly than he expected.
The post reflects a broader argument that the flashy “autonomous agent” layer may be easier to replace than the boring infrastructure underneath it.
It also cites the author’s own experience removing an agent layer from an outbound sales stack while keeping the underlying plumbing intact.
The takeaway is that the value in this wave may accrue more to data/infrastructure layers than to the agent layer sold as the main event.
