When the Code Becomes the CEO: Why Your Next Manager Might Be a Decentralized Agentic Loop

In five to ten years, the sharpest manager in your company might not be human, might not sleep, and might exist entirely in shared GPU memory. This is the systems-level view of the algorithmic corporation — why middle management collapses into a protocol, what breaks in the current AI stack, and what has to be built for autonomous agents to actually run a business.
