It sounds good and makes folks feel better — oh good, there is a person looking at all that. However, to agnatically transform something you are usually looking to get "machine speed" and that becomes much more difficult with a human-in-the-loop. Right now there are a lot of senior engineers being asked to do this ill defined task. We need to learn quickly how to move our systems to safer environments to minimize this before we burn out tons of people. Safety of systems is the place to focus to make this better. ## Facts - Kind: [Page](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/kinds/page/) ## Appears in - [WT344: Weekly Thing 344 / Mythos, Artemis, Signals](https://weekly.thingelstad.com/archive/344/), Notable ## Saved the same week - [Building a CLI for all of Cloudflare](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d1cb113d6520/) (blog.cloudflare.com, April 16, 2026) - [Gas Town: from Clown Show to v1.0 | Steve Yegge](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/efada1f73f1d/) (steve-yegge.medium.com, April 16, 2026) - [obsidian-skills: Agent skills for Obsidian](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/333ac7fd8f02/) (github.com, April 16, 2026) - [Our evaluation of Claude Mythos Preview’s cyber capabilities | AISI Work](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/ed3de24be44c/) (aisi.gov.uk, April 16, 2026) - [Bambu Lab X2D Signals Potential Shift Toward Consumer-Focused 3D Printing Market « Fabbaloo](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/93f51b0ea35b/) (fabbaloo.com, April 16, 2026) ## Elsewhere - Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://techtrenches.dev/p/the-human-cost-of-10x-how-ai-is-physically
