Isn't the whole selling point of AI agents that you now can do things like scale 3x without scaling your team accordingly?

I haven't seen anyone claim that applies to infrastructure or compute.
Implying that software is somehow divorce from Infrastructure/compute efficiency and utilization isn't a claim I've seen many make either.
Since apparently LLMs have also conquered physics, “Claude, transmute this lead to gold for me.”
Yeah, it's almost like the point I was making is that everyone is overselling AI agents' capabilities.
I’m sure someone is out there claiming that AI is going to solve all your business’s problems no matter what they are. Remotely sane people are saying it will solve (or drastically improve) certain classes of problems. 3x code? Sure. 3x the physical hardware in a data center? Surely not.
I assume so. They're doing it with around 99% uptime.
Or, to put it another way, almost 2 9s.
