Agree with you, overall -- and it's worthwhile to learn how to setup factories at various scales of problems, and one will always be in a situation where you need to decide whether you care about a particular part of the process, or can be okay with averages.

I'm only saying that that I don't think one can automate the whole thing. After all, agents don't actually possess ... agency -- they require us to breath live into them. So at some part of the stack, there has to be a human, with an opinion, thinking about what they want.

Also: I don't aspire to be a worker, I aspire to seize the means of production.
