We now live with Homo Agenticus Sapiens, a wonderful and perplexing creation that’s embedded as part of our social, intellectual and economic lives. I’ve long held that we really should get to know it better, treat it as the new species it is. But they are quite different to us, and since they are a silicon ecology and not a biological one, I’ve been experimenting to understand them better. And while I’ve written about this a few times now, I thought it time to capture what I’ve learnt and write it down in one place. And because I found myself using most of the points here in conversation and podcasts, I thought I would write them down as succinct bullet points, and have a post I will update regularly.
