Has anyone done anything yet with ‘agentic ai’ that couldn’t be done better/faster/easier in other ways? So far, I’ve mostly seen ‘I spun up 20 agents to google how to make a tuna casserole on twenty search engines and one more to summarize the results. Please, ignore that this burns as much compute power as our entire office does on a random Tuesday and produces pretty much the same result as if I had just searched once and read the free AI summary, which in turn is slightly worse than if I had searched it with no AI involved and just read the first link.’
I own some laser tag equipment that’s amazing hardware and has absolutely shitty software. I rebuilt the entire server side of the software stack using a local LLM (Qwen3.6 35B A3B) running on my laptop. I’m very happy with the outcome, I never could have done that myself.
