Your CEO is suffering from AI psychosis

The AI development landscape has shifted dramatically, with coding agents now capable of sustained, long-horizon tasks, a change noted by Andrej Karpathy since December 2025. This has led to new products like Perplexity Computer, an orchestration-first agent system, and advancements in tools like OpenAI's GPT-5.3-Codex and GitHub Copilot CLI. However, this rapid progress has also fueled a "productivity panic" and a form of "AI psychosis" among executives and VCs, who are investing heavily in agentic workflows and tools that may not yield measurable value. AI

IMPACT AI coding agents are reaching new levels of capability, driving both innovation in developer tools and a concerning trend of executive "AI psychosis."
