Great post. Thank you for sharing it on HN.

Modern best practices for a medical team (standard roles, responsibilities, consequences, processes, etc.) have evolved through trial and error, since the advent of civilization, to prevent costly human error.

In hindsight, it's not too surprising that the same best practices can be applied by teams of AI agents to minimize costly AI error.

It's still incredible. We sure live in interesting times!

You could also run them like an army, like an artist commune, like Valve (add virtual tables on wheels which they can pull wherever they want), like a lawyer's office, etc.
