> Harnesses orchestrate individuals

I feel this is probably coming and perhaps inevitable, but I fear for the poor employees this sort of thing will be tried out on first.

If AI development is like management, harnesses will totally end up orchestrating people like traditional management does. The end state of the Jev type model hype is that a few years from now decision models replace management decision. Disconnected human managers five levels away from the work make suboptimal decisions all the time, the same logic applied to self driving cars can play out here. The model doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to make better informed decisions than your fallible VP.

This is going to replace many layers of management who were pretty keen to use AI to replace their employees. So, poetic justice?
