How to prevent wasteful AI loops without a human in the loop to intercede in death spirals that burn token budgets? Not unique to this loop pattern. There was this from DeepMind a few weeks ago about online rewriting of agent prompt materials: "Continual Harness: Online Adaptation for Self-Improving Foundation Agents" (2026) https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.09998 https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.09998 .. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48126112 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48126112 Costed WASM opcodes would probably help prevent waste by enabling optimization of agent loops.
