Blog: Xanadu Was Waiting for Agents.

I can buy that there are a number of good ideas from the past that weren't viable because they required too much motivation to overcome the friction.

LLMs have infinite patience; they are happy to crawl through broken glass if you tell them to… and have the tokens to spend on it.

If you could make it so the first agent to crawl through broken glass grinds it smoother for the next agent, then the cost would asymptotically approach zero with more usage.

That would require people to be able to trust strangers' code.

That would require a new physics of trust.
