The apocalypse will presumably come when communication + coordination meetings are no longer necessary. People are really inefficient at this. We have to all get on a synchronous meeting and wait 20 minutes to share our 90 second update. We can debate the utility of these meetings, but that's how it's done and nothing has replaced them. Agents/AI will just get the info they need from the source, no updates needed. In my experience 60%+ of a corporate job would go away if I could just ask an all knowing bot where we were on something and get an instant response vs waiting for someone to respond to a slack or not wanting to bother them knowing we were meeting tomorrow morning for updates. All the people who dedicate themselves to making meetings work won't be necessary. I'm kinda excited for this future.
