David Krueger explains why "keep a human in the loop" won't survive competitive pressure. As agents take on longer, more open-ended tasks, the alignment bar rises — and the human supervising the work becomes a drag on productivity. The endpoint he describes is a full handover of control, where getting the values slightly wrong is catastrophic.
