“Deliberate intent that these things are tools and however we interrogate them, however we anthropomorphise them, they are tools, and should stay as such.”

This is the first AI Vistas discussion, a new series hosted by Exponential View where I bring people I trust into conversation around one hard question, because together we can see what none of us would see alone.

Two weeks ago, I read something in the financial press about a pattern called a dispersion event. I didn’t fully understand it, so before a short car ride, I asked my OpenClaw agent R Mini Arnold to explain it to me and find the data to evidence it.

By the time I arrived, the agent had pulled thirty years of market data and flagged contradictions in my recent thinking I hadn’t noticed. I adjusted my portfolio on the spot. The decision was mine, but the thinking behind it… it gets blurry. Who’s in charge here – me or my agent?
