I think this was a valuable post, albeit ending up somewhat incorrect about whether LLMs would be agentic—not because they developed the capacity on their own, but because people intentionally built and are building structure around LLMs to enable agency. That said, the underlying point stands—it is very possible that LLMs could be a safe foundation for non-agentic AI, and many research groups are pursuing that today.
