The agents got the job - Mitchell Bryson
In a single 24-hour stretch, Anthropic shipped 10 preconfigured agents to Wall Street with Jamie Dimon's public blessing, Sierra raised $950 million because 40% of the Fortune 50 already relies on its customer service agents, PayPal announced it's cutting 4,500 jobs because AI can do the work, and a Y Combinator-backed startup handed the management of a real Stockholm cafe to an AI named Mona. The individual headlines say 'new tool' or 'new funding' — but the pattern says something bigger: AI agents crossed from experiment to employee this week, and nobody has the rulebook for what comes next.
