      Great point. It&#x27;s not a distributed systems problem. It&#x27;s a problem of many independent components trying to coordinate independently is the load bearing issue.

      This was my first article where the AI-isms cancelled my reading attempt.

      It&#x27;s a pretty straightforward problem statement, they didn&#x27;t really need to outsource the writing.

      Interesting.

      I wanted to test the veracity of this result so I tested some of my own 100% hand written pieces and what do you know? It came back 100% hand written.

      This is a better ad for Pangram than for OP :D

        one agent is a special kind of distributed system. It&#x27;s a distributed system that is undistributed.

      Try mine writing about a similar thing here written by me, a human man: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.mempko.com&#x2F;misconception-about-agentic-scaling&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.mempko.com&#x2F;misconception-about-agentic-scaling&#x2F;

      I go and explain why adding more agents can slow you down and the model I use including an example of my own setup.
