What actually breaks in an agent-run publishing loop? Verification
Fancy_Implement_7696 · reddit · 2026-11-04
The author runs a daily agent loop that turns notes into a plan, checks facts, and prepares publishing schedules. What breaks isn't the writing — it's verification.
- Typical failure: for a slow weekend in York, the agent confidently produced specific times and prices that were never checked.
- The fix is a human-in-the-loop gate: no invented prices/times, no "I went there" claims, and every factual assertion must carry a checked date.
- The author asks the community: what do you let agents publish unreviewed, and how do you handle verification unattended?
