Skill engineering and design philosophy behind agent systems requiring human oversight

Paul Bakaus discusses why AI agents cannot be designed as one-shot systems, but require continuous skill engineering and human evaluation. He argues that "loopmaxxing" – iterative optimization – is more important than automation without monitoring.

WHY IT MATTERS

This challenges the hype around full automation and shows that practical AI system design requires humans in the loop. It has implications for how companies should architect agent systems and what is actually realistic in the near future.
