"We will have better and better models," wrote OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in a recent Reddit AMA. "But I think the thing that will feel like the next giant breakthrough will be agents."

Is this certain? Are Agents the right direction to AGI?

I've worked on agents of various kinds (mobile agents, calendar agents, robotic agents, sensing agents) and what is different about agents is they have the ability to not just mess up your data or computing, they have the ability to directly mess up reality. Any problems with agents has a direct impact on your reality; you miss appointments, get lost, can't find stuff, lose your friends, lose you business relationships. This is a big liability issue. Chatbots are like an advice column that sometimes gives bad advice, agents are like a bulldozer sometimes leveling the wrong house.
