Agent to agent payments has “real” volume measured in the low 5 figures.
There are forward looking merchants asking for bespoke apis to enable payments via MPP. A luxury jeweler, a winery.
My question would be - is this another attempt to rebuild the internet with another set of payment rails, without validation that the rails will be used?
Or are there real markets ready for MPP and agent to agent payments beyond these two companies? Buying a car online?
Buying a house via agent to agent payment?
Buying anything online? and MPP is the connective tissue from buyer to seller.
So it really becomes a services problem for these early agentic payments companies - we will connect you to the way people are and will be shopping in the future - AI.
Prompt, info, checkout button. I can see the vision, but do think the data is thin.
🚨🇮🇳 India’s student protests are getting BIGGER and LOUDER!
The “Cockroach Janta Party” movement is now one of the biggest challenges Modi has faced since winning re-election.
Students are refusing to leave the streets, opposition leaders are backing them, and the anger over exam scandals is spreading fast across the country.
Modi’s government is under real pressure right now.

An 11 year old girl committed suicide after being bullied by kids at her school who told her they were going to call ICE to take her parents away so she would be all alone. 11 years old. Those children saw a Hispanic girl at their school and bullied her with the racist remarks they learned from their parents. Now a child is dead and a family is forever traumatized.
The school knew about the bullying but never informed her parents. They only found out about it after she had already passed and investigators informed them.
I will never understand how anyone could be so cruel to support an organization that is tearing families apart. This poor girl lived in fear thinking she was going to lose her family. The sick thing is I doubt the parents of those bullies even cared because that is the behavior they taught their children. Fuck ICE and fuck everyone who supports this.
Rest in peace Jocelynn Rojo Carranza.
This is unprecedented in modern human history. There was absolutely no reason or benefit for the US to do this.
No sovereign country would’ve done that to itself.
Mark this day as the day the US voted for a coup d’état on itself -the day the US voted to screw itself for eternity.
What an embarrassment that Ken has to break this story, about a public document which explicitly calls for a return to the McCarthy era, before the Times and The Post and anyone else. Just pathetic.
The House will pass a $12 billion bailout for farmers suffering from high fuel & fertilizer prices caused by the Iran War, expensive equipment & parts caused by tariffs, and lower sales prices for commodities due to trade disputes with China.
But the GOP is fighting communism!
A college student just killed the biggest advantage politicians have ever had. The gap between the lie and the fact-check.
He built a Chrome extension called InTruth. It listens to any live speech, debate, or interview.
Transcribes every word. And checks every claim against real sources in real time. Before the speaker even finishes the sentence.
It works on debates. Press conferences. Town halls. Interviews. Anything with someone talking on video. The fact-check shows up on your screen while they're still talking.
Until now, fact-checking happened hours or days later. By then the clip has been shared, the headline has been written, and the damage is done. Nobody reads the correction.
InTruth closes that gap to seconds. The claim and the fact-check exist in the same moment.
A college student, a Chrome extension, and an AI model just did what entire newsrooms couldn't figure out for decades.
Can we just start a class action lawsuit against the US government? US Citizens v United States. Gross negligence in handling taxpayer funds would be a good start. Who's in?
One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.
Footage from an Israeli aircraft shows thousands of starving Palestinians running towards an aid truck, before it bombs and kills them all.
A video that the world must never forget.
