    Could someone explain to me what the general workflow is now that people are converging to? I haven't really been catching up with the AI ecosystem but I was looking into agent sandboxes and VM's recently and there's a ton of these startups and tools now. Is giving the agent a temporary scratchbox really that valuable?

    I've been still just like, making VM's with proxmox, then putting my agent in the machine and letting it run free (with my dotfiles setup script making dev env pretty much free, though I could also just make a VM snapshot). What's wrong with that? Is that not the scalable solution for enterprise rn?

      There's no convergence, but there sure as hell is a lot of pseudo-scientific voodoo and overengineering going on.

        I think at this point there is also lots of wild enthusiasm and not that much proof mass-agent anything + orchestration is actually financially viable or even useful.
