The Recursive AI Factory: Building Itself to Build Itself
threepointone · x · 2026-08-22
A satirical dialogue about the state of AI agents. It describes a highly optimized "software factory" with context sharing, async interaction, and sub-agents that spawn and review work. However, when asked what software it produces, the answer is "mostly using it to improve the factory." The ultimate goal is simply to build "a better factory," metaphorically highlighting the recursive nature of current AI tooling.
