Cheap actions multiply the decisions.
ActionsAn agent's action costs almost nothing.So teams ask it to do far more of them.
VolumeThe number of consequential actions grows.Refunds, credits, access changes, deploys.
ApprovalA person approving each one becomes the whole cost.Supervision grows with the work, and the saving stops there.
When something gets cheaper, we use far more of it: the Jevons paradox. Applied to agents, the limit moves from doing the work to deciding it.
