You’ve Been Thinking About AI Agents All Wrong. The Log Is the Agent.

A provocative new paper argues that AI agents aren’t just tracked by their logs—they are their logs. This flips everything we know about state, identity, and debugging. If the log is the agent, then every bug becomes a permanent historical fact, and deleting logs means erasing an entity. It’s a conceptual inversion that will reshape how we build, regulate, and even think about AI agents.
