AI agents' next bottleneck is humans: people track only 3–5 active sessions
vista8 · x · 2026-11-01
Blogger vista8 argues the next bottleneck for AI agents is humans themselves: agents can do more tasks in parallel, but human attention to manage them isn't growing.
The DeepSeek team observed most people can only track 3–5 active sessions; the author also finds it painful to locate projects once his Codex workload grows.
The industry is converging on a "master agent" pattern: Grok bot added a main bot, OpenAI Codex shipped Dots, Claude Code launched Duet, and DeepSeek proposed a Super-agent architecture — all addressing the same mismatch.
