A robotics founder at Roboteer says the code his agent fleet shipped in the past two weeks would have taken human coders of his caliber many months, arguing that human comprehension, creativity and speed of thought are becoming the limiting factors. He quips that Bill Gates' 1999 book title "Business @ the Speed of Thought" may age like "640K ought to be enough," and says he'll keep building a home robot with humans plus agents.
