alt Hacker NewsI’m afraid it’s a terrible metaphor, starting with the fact that LLMs are nothing like electricity, and the relation of harnesses to them is nothing like that of electronics to electricity, save perhaps one is a prerequisite of the other.
Harnesses (and the concept of agents before them) presuppose competence in LLMs which simply doesn’t exist.
