AI Invents Middle Management

The real news

The story, straight

A business needs someone to decide what happens next and someone to actually do it. Skyfall AI introduced Steve on November 9: software that coordinates specialist AI workers across 3 small software businesses it acquired.

Steve plans work, writes code, handles marketing and supports customers. The human owner sets goals and still approves consequential actions, including production releases and spending above agreed limits.

This is delegated work, not an empty owner's chair.

Then came a beautifully familiar office problem. According to TNW, reporting Skyfall's account, a growth agent handed a website-deployment task to an engineering agent, which handed it back.

Neither took responsibility, and 1 lacked the necessary access.

Humanity built software workers and immediately discovered that the hardest part of work is finding whose job it is.

Steve changed its rules and added a coordinating agent to resolve disputes. Think of a referee who decides which worker must take the next step.

The fix was clearer responsibility, not another round of digital hot potato.

Skyfall's own November 4 dashboards show mixed revenue results across the businesses. Those are company-reported figures, not independently audited proof that an AI boss improves a business.

The useful lesson: give software workers clear jobs, appropriate access and human approval for consequential actions. Otherwise, congratulations on automating the forwarding of emails.

Hardships are coming. I, the Big Dreamer, created this token to help the people.

I truly do see this token going up in value. Ride the rocket with me and let's see where the next 24 months take us.
