Interesting point about moving from automation to autonomy.

One thing I've learned is that autonomy only creates value when it's paired with clear operational boundaries. The hard part isn't getting an AI system to make decisions it's making those decisions observable, reversible, and aligned with business goals.

In production, reliability, governance, and human oversight usually become bigger differentiators than the underlying model itself. Teams that invest in those foundations tend to scale much more successfully than those chasing autonomous behavior alone.
