I have been thinking about how we slowly give our mental tasks to technology. Each major invention takes a job away from our brains:

Writing -> We stopped needing to remember everything (outsourced memory)

Printing Press -> We stopped needing to copy knowledge by hand

Calculators -> We stopped doing math in our heads

The Internet -> We stopped needing to "know" facts. We just look them up

LLMs -> We are starting to give away reasoning and combining ideas

What is next?

Soon, AI will likely handle:

- Planning

- Ideas

- Execution

What remains for us?

If AI does the "thinking" and the "doing," maybe humans are left with only:

- Experiencing: Feeling what it is like to be alive

- Choosing: Deciding what we actually want

- Valuing: Deciding what is important or "good."

- Being aware: Just being a witness to the process

And not sure if these are "safe" human roles? Or will AI eventually take over "choosing" and "valuing" too? If an algorithm knows what you want before you do, is our consciousness still in control?

Hi all - I created agentplatform.app to be a place to build agentic workflows, and create plugins that tap into those. I wanted to build upon the idea of a skill for something that can be deeply integrated into the entire lifecycle of the application, and modular in a way where plugins can be easily reused across different applications.

I also wanted a way for people to go on and create their own plugins and be paid for their work - so as you create plugins you're able to add them to the marketplace for others to use for free or to 'subscribe' to them for a max monthly rate that is applicable as long as an application is running. The plugins are go-code, and when you apply them to an application and deploy it, it's deployed into it's own isolated machine from other applications - running native Go code.

If anyone is interested in helping me test this, please send me a DM after signing up on the site and I'll approve your account and set it up to bypass billing during testing.

One thing I will say is that at Vulnetic we will basically jumble different misconfigurations into a network and the agent always seems to find a way to exploit them. We have tried making them esoteric, and we are even now using EDR and tools like Wazuh to evaluate how our agent evades detection. These models are improving at hacking fast.

We've been going through enterprise sales processes with both of you, and I've encountered some practices I haven't seen before with other B2B vendors:

Usage data availability:

We're being told we can't access usage data for our existing accounts unless we sign a 12-month commitment. We need this data to make an informed purchasing decision.

Pricing validity:

Received a pricing link with 14-day validity. On day 13, we were told pricing had doubled and the original quote wouldn't be honored.

I understand AI is a fast-moving market and everyone's scaling rapidly. But these create real trust issues for procurement teams trying to make informed decisions.

Has anyone else experienced similar challenges with AI vendor negotiations? I'm hoping these are isolated issues rather than emerging patterns.
