It isn't just passive. The bubble is built up on the idea "stop hiring humans, totally autonomous agents." No one is going to want to pay for agents which don't give you the freedom to reduce head count. I realize that the two aren't mutually exclusive, necessarily, but you can see why there is such a strong push for agents to function autonomously for longer and longer durations: its the financial reward that capital wants.

(The word overseer is a bit close to certain anti-vibecoding posts I've seen.. )
