Aaron Levie says agent swarms will unlock compute-bound work, but humans can't review them
dosco · x · 2026-10-20
- Aaron Levie: agent swarms finally make compute a critical variable in economically valuable tasks—research, data processing, discovery, testing—whose real bottleneck has always been human planning, execution, review, and coordination. Swarms enable massive parallelization of such work.
- Counterpoint from builder Amit Deshmukh: humans will have zero ability to review agent swarm output at scale, creating a class divide between companies that trust AI and those that don't. He's built harnesses scaling over massive data and says the last enterprise bottleneck is human coordination—human managers will be left behind.
