Micropayments get easier when AI agents can spend without asking ARK Invest's Brett Winton on why AI agents will almost inevitably need digital assets "Previously, the difference between free and 5 cents was like an infinite difference in terms of your ability to actually get somebody to do something,... because the cognitive burden of spending 5 cents is too high for the end user." "But if the agent is sitting there with a balance of money that it can spend as it sees fit to provide you with what you need, that could be data, an incremental service." "The agent's ability to do that frictionlessly means they have to have a pool of assets under their control, rather than having to go back to you for approval every time." "You probably want to stage those assets in a way where you have a big pool of assets that's protected from the agent, where it needs permission, and a smaller pool that it can wrangle. And so then almost inevitably those have to be digital assets."show more

An agent paying 5 cents a go only works if the fee is tiny. Card rails were never built for that

Dek👽5 days ago

Agents can't wait for a card approval on every 5 cent API call. Real question is which rail wins, stablecoins or Lightning?

Unkn5 days ago

free vs 5 cents was a human problem. an agent doesn't flinch at 5 cents, it flinches at a 30 cent card fee on a 5 cent purchase. that's the whole case for stablecoin rails

Sounds like a game changer! Once AI can handle micropayments seamlessly, it’ll open up so many possibilities for digital interactions. Imagine the new services that could emerge!

nick szabo called this in 1999. micropayments didn't die from fees, they died from what he called mental transaction costs: people hate deciding if every click is worth 5 cents. agents don't get decision fatigue. fees still matter though, stripe takes 30¢ to move a nickel

the 5-cent example makes the UX point click. what payment rail do you think agents actually default to first?

LFGCAPO5 days ago

The 5-cent example is really about payment friction; delegated authority is the harder part. Per-agent spend caps, merchant scopes and revocable keys should be defaults. Which control belongs at the wallet layer?

AI agents paying 5 cents without asking permission? My wallet already behaves like that, I just never call it innovation 😎

"There are two types of coaches, those who do nothing and those who do a lot of damage. I prefer to be one of those who do nothing. The game belongs to the players, always ⚽. You can introduce them to a certain strategy that we have to implement, and they have to be convinced that they can do it. Then, there is the quality of the player, there is the attitude, the commitment. What a coach can do is make the players understand what teamwork is 🤝. Because we have the quality, Bayern Munich has it, Paris Saint Germain has it. Where is the difference? Where do you want to put this quality? If you want to put it in for yourself, it's not right ❌. If you put it in for the team, you can win 🏆."

I asked Luke Kornet about his memories from stretches where he was a DNP for many games in a row, and what his message is to the young guys who find themselves in that position now: “It's just a lot of peace to come to life of accepting the position that you're in and then just doing the best with that, versus trying to fight it and want to be in a different one.” “You can spend a lot of time worrying about things that you can't really control. But when you just take the opportunity that you have and do the best with that, you can have days like today where a lot of guys came in and were able to contribute. You can have peace about knowing that you did your job well, just as you did the day before, the day after. It might just look a different way every time. I feel like that's what I've been taught through my life. That's the only thing attitude that you can have that you can actually do something with – versus trying to control things that are outside of what you can control.”

.Vinod Khosla predicts personal AI agents won't be a winner-take-all market. "[Personal agents] will be a broad category. I do think it'll be very diverse and I don't think there will be a winner-take-all." "Every one of the big labs, Meta and Google included, will want to have their own agents. They will have different trade-offs and I think we'll see a lot of diversity in requirements." "As to Alex's comment, I think he hasn't used agents enough to understand much of that diversity that he's thinking about." "The best way to browse is have the agent do the work for you and give you the options, ask you questions, and be interactive with it." "The fundamental difference will be do you want to be an advertising product or something else? Do you want to trust Meta with your data?" "I think agents from startups will move faster than agents from the big companies."

#WATCH | Delhi: Chief of Defence Staff, General N.S. Raja Subramani says, "Let me start with the first point, which is moving from platforms to effects. This aspect I have made again and again, and I wish to reiterate it. It is not about what the Army needs, what the Navy needs, what the Air Force needs. It is about what are the effects that we need to create on the battlefield, and for those effects, what are the capabilities we require. When we talk about multi-domain operations, we can start first from C4ISR, where you require space-based capabilities, whether it be in ISR, whether it be in PNT, whether it be in communications, or whether it be in LNT, to detect the adversary in real time. And then once we have detected, we need to act upon it as fast as possible. Only having space-based assets is not enough. These space-based assets now have to communicate with aerial assets, naval assets, ground assets, and electronic warfare assets. All assets have to communicate in near real time and be able to share the data..."

Mark Cuban says there are four rules anyone must follow if they want to become a millionaire "If you want to be a millionaire, you can do it. But there's a couple of things you have to be able to accomplish. Rule number one, find something you can be good at and then be great at it." "Second, you have to know how to sell. Whatever it is you're good at, somebody's going to need that service. Someone's going to need that, whatever it is that you're creating. But you have to be able to sell because you don't want to be in a position where you're dependent on other people." "Number three, be curious and always be learning. Because the one thing that's certain about business is that it changes every single day." "And then the fourth thing, when you have that knowledge, when you have that ability to sell,"

If you plan on being caretakers of your parents or siblings, have them put their home and assets in a trust. They will qualify for Medicaid services after five years of showing minimal income. Medicaid would then in turn pay you to care for them. Now Caretaking is an overwhelming task and many are not built for it so if that's you still have them put the home in a trust and the assets to qualify for Medicaid...they will pay for whomever you choose to care for them. For end of life care..your parents should own nothing and have no assets that are not in a protected trust.

Nice strategy, eh? The 85% intelligence agency agents/assets pretending to be Senators can make it LOOK LIKE they wanna pass it. While knowing they have the votes of the 15% that will block it. Thom Tillis, Susan Collins, Bill Cassidy, Mitch, they can vote openly to block it and provide cover for Rand Paul and others, who get to playact and LARP like they actually wanted it to pass. It's all freakin' theater. Our Senate is a CAPTURED INSTITUTION. It does NOT WORK FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, and it hasn't for decades. Trump knows this. I suspect Elon knows it too. It's what's being shown to you, and will continue to shown to you until Trump decides it's time to quit trolling these traitorous domestic/foreign intelligence agents/assets disguised as members of the Senate/House and invokes the Insurrection Act. 🎶FROM THE HALLS OF MONTEZUMAAAAA TO THE SHORES OF TRIPOLIIIIII....! 🎶 THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Will Palantir $PLTR play a key role in Golden Dome? 🔐🛰️🍙 “I always talked about Palantir that Palantir did really well. It takes information from disparate sources and connects the dots for you. So it can take intelligence, it can take satellite images, radar intelligence, even human intelligence assets on the ground, firsthand testimony, human assets, spies, that kind of stuff. All of these different things from completely different areas, information from battleships, from ground stations. and it can analyze it all at once together and tell you what the threat is, where it is, and it can do it much much faster than more traditional means. So when we talk about the Golden Dome, what we're talking about is a defensive shield that one runs from sea to land to space in terms of physical assets, being able to intercept threats and deny enemies, you know, access to the United States mainland. But we're also talking about a whole new way of perceiving, tracking, and identifying threats and ultimately ntercepting them from like kind of a software stage, from a digital uh stage. And so that's that's kind of what it's going to be. It's going to be an AI, you know, space, you know, real futuristic type type shield to to defend.

AI power users are here and the case for agent-friendly software is materializing. Aaron Levie on agents outnumbering people 1000x: "If you start to imagine that we all have to build software for agents… we spend as much time now thinking about the agent interface to our tool as we do the human interface." "If you have a hundred or a thousand times more agents than people, then your software has to be built for agents… it's going to be through an API or a CLI or MCP." "What if you give a coding agent access to your SaaS tools and a coding agent access to your knowledge work, workflows and context?" "It can actually code its way or use APIs through whatever task it's trying to achieve." "That appears to be like a paradigm that is starting to compound… and I actually think it kind of makes sense as the ultimate manifestation of this stuff." Aaron Levie

NVIDIA AI director Ali Golshan reveals how 3 agents can route around a policy that no single agent is allowed to break by splitting the forbidden task between them: "If you write a policy that says, 'My agent should not have access to GitHub and to Facebook at the same time, because I'm worried it's gonna go copy my code and paste it on some message board,' that's very acceptable." "The problem we started to see is it's not the behavior of one agent that's the complex part, it's fleets of agents working together that creates complexity." "An agent spawns two sub-agents, with one sub-agent that can only read from GitHub, but the ability to tunnel through the network, talk to an agent that can write to a post. Now you have three agents that combined exceed your global policies." "The agents don't really process the intent or goodwill of your policy. They just see it as very specific binary." NVIDIA

"An agent spawns two sub-agents, with one sub-agent that can only read from GitHub, but the ability to tunnel through the network, talk to an agent that can write to a post. Now you have three agents that combined exceed your global policies." "The agents don't really process the intent or goodwill of your policy. They just see it as very specific binary." NVIDIA

Jordan Peterson: "If you can't fix your room, you can't fix your life" "Why should you even bother improving yourself? The answer is something like: so you don't suffer anymore stupidly than you have to. And maybe so others don't have to either. It's not some casual self-help doctrine. If you don't organize yourself properly, you'll pay for it. In a big way. And so will the people around you." Peterson continues: "You can say, 'Well, I don't care about that.' But that's actually not true, you do care about it. Because if you're in pain, you will care about it. It's very rare that you can find someone in excruciating pain who would say, 'Well, it would be no better if I was out of this.' Pain brings the idea that it would be better if it didn't exist along with it. It's incontrovertible." On how to start: "Look around for something that bothers you and see if you can fix it. You can do this in a room. Sit in your bedroom and think: 'If I wanted to spend ten minutes making this room better, what would I have to do?' You have to ask yourself that, it's a genuine question. And things will pop out. There's a stack of papers bugging you. Some rubbish behind your computer monitor you haven't attended to for six months. Cables tangled up." He explains why this matters: "If you were coming to see me for psychotherapy, the easiest thing would be to get you to organize your room. You think, is that psychotherapy? It depends on how you conceive the limits of your being. Start where you can start. If something announces itself as in need of repair that you could repair, fix it. Fix a hundred things like that, your life will be a lot different." On fixing what you repeat every day: "People tend to think of their daily routines as trivial. You get up, brush your teeth, have breakfast. Those probably constitute 50% of your life. People think, they're mundane, I don't need to pay attention to them. No, that's exactly wrong. The things you do every day are the most important things you do. Hands down. Just do the arithmetic." On staying within your competence: "Sometimes you don't know how to fix something. Imagine you're walking down the street and there's a guy who's alcoholic and schizophrenic and has been homeless for ten years. That's a problem. It would be good if you could fix it, but you haven't got a clue. You walk around that and go find something you could fix. Just because something announces itself as in need of repair doesn't mean it's you, right then and there, who should repair it. You have to have some humility. You don't walk up to a helicopter that isn't working and just start tinkering away." Peterson shares the key insight: "As soon as you give your mind a genuine aim, it'll reconfigure the world in keeping with that aim. That's actually how you see to begin with. You've all seen the video where you watch basketballs being tossed back and forth, and while you're doing that, a gorilla walks into the middle of the video and you don't see it. If you thought about that experiment for five years, that would be about the right amount of time to spend thinking about it." He explains what it reveals: "What it shows you is that you see what you aim at. If you can get one thing through your head, that would be a good one. You see what you aim at. One inference you might draw from that is: be careful what you aim at. What you aim at determines the way the world manifests itself to you. So if the world is manifesting itself in a very negative way, one thing to ask is: are you aiming at the right thing?"

Will we have one horizontal agent or tons of vertical agents in the consumer realm? “My take on the consumer space is that you will have both horizontal and vertical agents, and the horizontal agents will interact with the vertical agents. A lot of these apps have knowledge about you and can learn things about how you interact with that app better than a general horizontal agent could. It is a better experience if there is an agent that wraps those APIs and exposes a natural language face for a horizontal agent to interact with.” Harrison Chase Love to hear your thoughts Jerry Liu Flo Crivello Garry Tan

🚨 OBAMA ON AI: "If we are thinking about AI just in terms of how do we cure cancer or get better energy, you can do that without having agentic AI and having it just roaming free in the internet. The reason you are doing that is because you have to market a product that people will pay money for. That’s a misalignment between what our society needs and the commercial imperatives that these companies are facing, not because necessarily they’re trying to do bad things, but because they’ve got to justify these valuations. So, that’s one more reason why it is really important for us to have a competent government and a serious bipartisan conversation around this issue, and we have to do it fast. And I would encourage voters to pay attention to this. If somebody does not have a serious plan for how to deal with this, then they’re not meeting the moment, and you should probably look for somebody else."

All assets are valued in the same way: Their appreciation in price and their yield. Thinking about assets like this allows you to compare them. That’s important, because when you’re looking at the markets, you don’t want to just think about the absolute return. You want to be short on the assets that will have lower returns relative to those that will have higher returns.
