VC: My AI agents ask me ~75 questions a day — being the human in the loop is the job
StewartalsopIII · x · 2026-10-12
Investor Stewart Alsop III argues that being the human in the loop has always been the most important job — previously the only non-humans in the loop were 'angels and demons' (metaphorical or literal), and now AI agents are the new entrant. He says he built his system to stay in the loop no matter what, and his agents ask him about 75 questions per day on average. The job remains the same: be the best human in the loop you can be.
