Delta, Chase and Amazon are blocking AI agents.

The war on agents has begun, and here’s how it probably plays out:

Stage 1: Companies block agents because agents skip the ads and upsells.

Stage 2: Agents learn to act like humans, and it becomes an arms race.

Stage 3: The market splits. Companies that make money on sales let agents in, companies that make money on data charge for access, and the giants build their own agents.

Stage 4: A trusted middle layer for agent identity and payments becomes the standard way in.

Stage 5: Companies that welcome agents start winning customers from the ones that block them.

Stage 6: The agent blockers come back and let agents in on their own terms.

Stage 7: Everyone starts competing for agents with better prices, faster checkout and SEO built for agents.

Stage 8: The ads come back, and companies pay to be your agent’s first recommendation.

Stage 9: The agent war ends, and selling to agents becomes as normal as having a website.

Someone just shilled me this meme coin:

- 23.3 trillion supply
- No supply cap
- 1 node
- 25% of supply minted in the last 3 years
- 1% of holders own 30%
- Backed by the U.S. government

PSA about EV charging.

I spent the morning swapping out my son’s 50A receptacle at his rental house (installed by a certified electrician!) due to heat damage.

He was alerted to possible problems by the Tesla Mobile Connector dropping charging amps from 32A to 16A.

Sure enough when I got there, I saw signs of overheating on one of the blades.

So I did what the “professional electrician” should have done and spent an extra $30 to buy an EV grade receptacle. $41 instead of $11 at Home Depot and the house doesn’t burn down. I consider that a deal.

If you are charging via a 50A receptacle and it doesn’t have an EV symbol on it like this (or isn’t a Bryant or Hubbell), do yourself a favor and replace it with one that does.

It’s usually a pain in the butt because the better receptacle usually has a bigger diameter and depth, so take careful measurements and pictures to understand the physical layout.

Frankly, I’m still astounded that we have this incredibly over engineered electrical code, yet the testing labs (like UL) allow junk receptacles to still be sold.

YouTube suspended my channel. I think someone reported me because they didn’t believe I’m real.

I am real. Full quadriplegic with ALS. Neuralink patient. I type with my brain. My channel is @ALScyborg — same as here.

Please review the appeal quickly and restore the channel. I live in Watch Later. I’d live on X more if it had one.

Society would be 100x better off if men had a complete and total ownership mindset.

It's no one else's fault but your own.

You didn't do enough to prevent bad things from happening.

Work harder.

I recently shared a post about intimate partner violence, based on data from the infamous, and enormous 2007 Whittaker study on 18,760 (!) relationships, that found:

50% of intimate partner violence was bilateral (with both partners doing it), 35% was female to male violence, and 15% was male to female.

These are certainly controversial findings, but the data is rather old now.

Luckily, one of my many talented followers, who is a family violence researcher, has conducted the study again, with new data, from various countries, and samples around the world.

I wanted to share the data; and how, yes, it's more or less the same again.

Most shocking to me, was the biggest disparity in unilateral violence was seen in middle/high school samples, where girls were 2.5 TIMES (!) more likely to be unilaterally violent than boys.

This surely shines new light on why BOTH girls and boys should be taught about the dangers of IPV, and BOTH girls and boys should be protected from it.

So, will this study, and its additional tens of thousands of surveyed participants, do anything to change the warped, ideological narrative of IPV, that causes so much harm?

What do you think?
