We identified three ways AI interactions can be disempowering: distorting beliefs, shifting value judgments, or misaligning a person’s actions with their values. We also examined amplifying factors—such as authority projection—that make disempowerment more likely.

Kill conditions for agent orchestrators to stop error loops
By

Interesting!
One thing that I have to always do: whenever a Claude Code starts to go wrong, I kill it, because when they fill their context with error logs and wrong ideas, they tend to keep digging their hole.
A good agent orchestrator would have "kill conditions" to just
