Greg Kamradt challenges the 10K-agent swarm thesis: who picks the Navier-Stokes problem?
GregKamradt · x · 2026-09-19
- ARC Prize founder Greg Kamradt quotes a hot take that "human-in-the-loop is dead weight at scale" — put 10k agents on Navier–Stokes and 99.999% of humans can't add signal, only latency — and asks the key question: how did those agents choose to work on Navier-Stokes?
- His pushback exposes the core tension: problem selection itself requires a signal source, which is exactly where human oversight may still matter.
- A substantive debate on the limits of autonomous agent swarms versus human steering.
