Agents are better at managing their focus than humans are.
- Agents are better at managing their focus than humans are.
- Focus in humans is a precious, fragile thing.
- One person interrupting you at the wrong time can rip you out of your focus.
- That can feel like ripping a limb off.
- But agents can be as focused as they want to be… sometimes too focused.
- They focus on the next step in front of them, and lose track of the big picture, going down rabbit holes that lose the plot.
- Not too dissimilar to highly competent humans who fall into a hyperfocus trap.
- Infinite patience allows infinite focus.
