AI Models Are Eating Their Harnesses. Now What?

AI harness engineering is everywhere right now. But as AI models become more capable, some engineers are removing the very instructions and orchestration that once made their agents work. Others are building increasingly sophisticated systems to manage tools, memory, permissions, and tasks that last for days. So do we need AI harnesses at all? After attending @aiDotEngineer NYC, I wanted to understand why people building these systems have such different answers. In this episode of Attention Span by Turing Post, we start with a working coding agent built in about 25 lines, then explore what ha
