Agency

The second post argues that in remote collaboration, the decisive factor is agency rather than humanness. Using the Planet B thought experiment, it explores a hybrid team made up of humans and bots working toward a shared mission. The core question is whether an agent contributes effectively to collective goals, regardless of biological origin. This leads into concerns about autonomy, communication between bots, and governance for mixed human-machine networks. The post uses this scenario to test assumptions about team membership, productivity, and the future of collaborative systems.
