Anil Dash has a recent post The Majority AI View in which he argues "AI is a normal technology like any other." I am inclined to agree, which is why I find this article relevant. It's a level-headed assessment of how, where and why AI agents will develop the way they will in the future. It doesn't involve unreasonable hype nor apocalyptic fears. There won't be a single AI running everything; like most other things, as humans work with them as tools or agents there will be many versions pursuing different agendas interacting and sometimes competing with each other. I've made a simple graphic (by hand, heh) to make the paper a bit more accessible and use it to illustrate this post.
