The latest issue of Complex Machinery is out.

From the news to the workplace, we can't escape the terms "agentic AI" and "AI agents." But what do they mean, exactly? That's not exactly clear. But hype and hope are filling the gap where a concrete definition should be.

In "Agent double-0 nothing," I explore what (little) the world knows about agentic AI and share my thoughts on how it can live up to its potential.

(No surprise: for that latter part I draw some parallels to algorithmic trading. Because, that's just how I roll.)
