- ai-assisted · my own sentences from a recorded interview, assembled by ai almost verbatim. the journal line quoted inside was written by the fleet.
in one week my fleet grew to 144 agents and closed 106 units of work. on its most productive day, i shut half of it down.
on august 1, 2026, i started an experiment. four department leads, each with its own lane, so i could steer them directly instead of passing everything through one agent. content, marketing, r&d, revenue. the idea was to parallelize my attention.
in seven days the canvas grew to 144 agents.
i don't even know what the projects were. my brain was hurting. i was giving instructions to one agent that was focused on another project. i was mixing instructions between terminals. mostly i was just pressing continue.
the fleet, meanwhile, was having its most productive week ever. the journal records 106 closed units of work in seven days. on august 8 alone, the day i closed half of it, it records 20 finished pieces, including:
2026-08-08 | blender-cat-claude | Built and documented a preserved stylized-cat experiment with a 16-bone rig, verified 24-frame walk loop, saved Blender project, and H.264 preview
that same day the fleet also finished an 807-frame video about ai sycophancy and a 1,597-frame reconstruction of an xkcd comic.
i closed content and marketing first. of course i lost some work. but after i closed them i felt relief. my clarity was more important.
today, writing this: the fleet was not failing. it was producing more than i could steer. the machines did not break, the steering did. i found i make more quality than quantity. my brain needs space to take actual decisions, and no amount of agents changes that.
