Huh, had a fascinating conversation today that made me realise the agentic AI cost & risk conversation looks *very* different when you consider it from the point of view of an organisation that *already* outsources a lot of their internal software development to third party suppliers, as it's a matter of taking the project management & QA processes you already wrap around your outsourcing vendors, and wrapping those around an agentic AI backed development process instead.

It's essentially "outsourcing as a service", replacing what can be spectacularly complex contract negotiations with a comparatively straightforward price per token. Even if prices per token were to increase to actually profitable/sustainable levels, a single displaced outsourcing contract will pay for a *lot* of tokens.
