Maybe the future isn't a human-like centralized intelligence but an octopus-like decentralized intelligence where more focus is placed on making the harness itself "smart"

That would be counter to AI company goals. They want harness to be dumb and models to be smart so they can sell models.
Not really. Anthropic for example sells both the harness and the models as a unified kit via Claude Code, it is in their best interest to make sure both parts work as well as possible, via reinforcement learning of previous usage as well for new model performance increases.

History indicates you can't tool and harness your way to effectively competing against a smarter model with more compute.
