When the optimizer knows you first.
The question is no longer whether agents will know us. It is who they are loyal to when they do.
PATH A — Agent serves the platform
- You become legible to the system
- Every friction gets optimized away
- Discovery and spontaneity erode
- Capital decides what you want next
PATH B — Agent serves the human
- The cyborg model: you plus your agent
- Friction kept where it makes you human
- Your agent represents your interests
- You stay the author of your desires
"The hinge is the relationship between human consciousness and machine intelligence."
