Have you or a loved one been afflicted by "brain fry" after managing too many autonomous agents? This week on the Friday Deploy, Andrew and Ben explore the cognitive toll of orchestrating AI swarms and share Kelly Vaughn’s expert strategies for avoiding burnout. The hosts also discuss Google's new campaign to punish websites that hijack the back button, the breakthrough of running Gemma 4 natively on mobile devices, and a new 8-step maturity model for building agentic data pipelines. Finally, they dive into a heated debate over whether Obsidian flat-files are a scalable memory solution for AI, comparing the methodology to Andrej Karpathy's new agent-compiled wiki system.
