am I at all surprised by this revelation that – “with AI” – a team of 6 can deliver more value than a team of 26? No. It’s exactly what I’d expect, with or without AI.

Coordinating humans or agents, it’s still coordination.

The combinatorial explosion in lines of communication required to keep team members in sync applies whether those team members are human or AI.
