I'm working on giving AI agents access to payment systems. It's incredible how much is being built in this space right now. Reach out to us at agentic@anchorage.com if you have agents that need access to make crypto and fiat payments and to manage money.

"If any of your environment variables contain secrets that were not marked as sensitive"
I use "sensitive" for everything. No one ever leaked data by encrypting _too much_.

We’ve identified a security incident that involved unauthorized access to certain internal Vercel systems, impacting a limited subset of customers. Please see our security bulletin: vercel.com/kb/bulletin/ve…

Target says consumers are responsible if their AI makes purchasing mistakes.

Be wary of betting on what won't work.
You'll be right too often.
Most new ideas fail, so the "it won't work" bet pays out constantly.
But it trains the reflex that nothing new can succeed.
English
Consumer can still pay with card.
The agent's multi-rail wallet routes it.
But now the consumer eats interchange. 2-3% so your AI can buy things?
How long until they switch to stablecoins too.
English
Stablecoins fix this:
no interchange (merchant keeps 2-3% more)
instant settlement
zero chargeback risk
The tradeoff shifts to the consumer: you deploy the agent, you eat the onramp fee, you own the risk it misbehaves.
English
Merchants won't accept your AI agent's credit card.
They'll demand stablecoins instead.
Here's why this is the non-obvious bet: 🧵

@mattschoch Very cool - have you tried any agentic cards products yet?
English
Anybody have an OpenClaw instance that's set up for agentic payments?
Curious how you approached the controls for personal assistant use cases (e.g., pre-funded cards, policies, protocols, etc)
English
Wallets as agentic identity smells like NFT days.
Multiple agents can control a wallet. Humans & agents can share a wallet. Therefore wallet is not identity.

Imagine the Stanford faculty party:
Prof 1: “we might have created AGI”
Prof 2: “we might be able to cure cancer”
Prof 3: “adults who played Pokémon have special brain spot”
Fanatics Collect@FanaticsCollect
A Stanford study found that people who played Pokémon heavily as kids developed a small region of the brain that responds specifically to Pokémon characters. Researchers scanned adults who grew up playing on Game Boy and showed them images of Pokémon like Pikachu and Bulbasaur. Their brains lit up in the same exact spot, a consistent area in the visual cortex tied to recognizing specific categories of objects. The reason comes down to childhood. When you’re young, your brain is more flexible, and spending hours memorizing hundreds of similar-looking Pokémon essentially trained it to carve out space just for them. (via @Stanford)

@gakonst Most apis are not compute-bound scarce resources? No api has done this because there’s no need; providers scale up servers. Llm inference being a recent exception, but feels quite dystopian if auction mechanics become normal for anything deterministic.
English
API pricing will look a lot more like ad auctions in an agent-first future.
Instead of fixed pricing with tiers, APIs will sell a number of calls per unit of time, agents will bid.
It will look like HFT but for agents paying for getting API calls fulfilled faster.

the idea of pricing for agents is getting traction. auth0.com/pricing.md resend.com/pricing.md workos.com/pricing.md

“Take a sales agent…It does not spend money autonomously.”
Sales agents need an expense account to pay for client meals, obviously.

Agents can use MCP with an MPC wallet to pay with MPP for their CPMs.

@0xfishylosopher Would you want to just use your existing wallets and connect agents to them, rather than dedicated agentic wallets?

Baudrillard had a fine point about Centre Pompidou, that many of its exterior pipes and "guts" are nonfunctional and decorative. So it pretends to be more "open" and "honest" than a traditional Parisian building, but is actually more deceitful.

When originality is valued above beauty, timelessness, and quality in modernist architectural practice, experimentation is treated as an asset rather than the liability it often becomes. Modernist architecture reflects a broader societal obsession with individuality, self-centeredness, and rebellion against inherited tradition.

contrarian take: younger gens won't inherit massive wealth from boomers.
it's too consensus. everyone knows it's coming.
PE rolls up all the boomer businesses -> not passed down.
End of life care costs skyrocket -> boomers want to live longer, siphon their savings.

@RAILGUN_Project Does that mean the Mech address holds the defi position? How is this materially different from just...withdrawing to a 0x address & running the defi tx? or using a smart wallet controlled by the 0zk? The defi account is public.
