2026-10-12 · publishedWhat happens when AI runs out of text? Harnesses could connect code, deployment and real economic feedback.
- Programming offers near-endless reinforcement: generate problems, compile, test and execute code against objective feedback.
- Harness engineering extends CI/CD: agents build, verify, deploy, observe and improve software continuously.
- Stripe closes the commercial loop: usage shows interest; billing, retention, refunds and churn reveal willingness to pay.
- Build → Test → Deploy → Observe → Bill → Learn → Repeat.
- Models may become commodities like spell-check. The value shifts to harnesses and feedback loops connecting AI to the real world.
