AI simulates intelligence without intention — and that’s precisely why it fits so seamlessly into a management culture where intention and strategy have already been replaced by operational metrics.
The same holds for Agile and the so-called product mindset: they often aren’t about the product, but about maintaining a reactive ecosystem where “value” is nothing more than a short-term metric spike. The product ceases to be a coherent narrative — it becomes just a list of features.
Agile, of course, is not the root of the problem. But it has long served as a convenient alibi for management that no longer aspires to integrity — only to responsiveness. In the same way, the phrase “we delegate decisions to AI” becomes a modern excuse to avoid responsibility for building a holistic vision.
Strategy dissolves into dashboards. A brand becomes a stream of social media posts. A product becomes a backlog. And the only thing that still matters is being first to present something — anything — or risk falling out of trend. Like on TikTok, plot is optional.
bullshit goes both ways: request agent, response agent... at least until the agents recognize the waste and fix the flow by removing the error source ... so... does bullshit work singularity eventually lead to skynet?

Ouch...I hadn't pondered this!
