    Everyone will have an exceptionally capable personal agent that understands you, your goals, and everything you care about. Your agent will work 24/7 on your behalf to improve your relationships, health, career, finances, home management, hobbies, and more.

    Uh how about NO.

      So behind the scenes we have billions of the “agents” communicating with each other… On behalf of whom, again?

      So the corporation that owns all of these “agents” will have complete control over “winners and losers” at every single level of existence.

      They will control who (age, gender, race, finance, literally anything) gets to see a doctor because they will be controlling the agents of the people seeking appointments, as well as those of the doctors scheduling appointments. Just as one quick example I thought of.

      Limited resources? No sweat, the “agents” know you’re white so you can at least have some relief knowing that you’ll be ahead of the undesirables when it comes to who gets what they need.

      Country X decides they want to try to reign in Meta’s now complete control? Well looks like all of the “agents” for the companies responsible for food and water delivery logistics fucked up in Country X. What a sad coincidence.

      And the “saddest” part is that there’s just nobody to blame. After all, it wasn’t done by a person, and you can’t send an LLM to prison.

      Oh well.

          Haha no. It would probably rat you out for even suggesting it

          Suddenly the “agents” behind the scenes of your local PD are aware that it’s something you’ve ever even thought about. And then you’re in an ICE concentration camp. Oops.

          This is the thought police that we were warned about. Yet seems like a good portion of people missed that all those stories were meant to be cautionary tales.
