Wix just gave its small-business AI agents a wallet, built with Stripe, so they can pay suppliers themselves. A 10-minute text approval doesn't change what crossed: we went from agents drafting work to agents holding the money.

Kargo just made its agentic media-buying tool, Karlo, available to any small business, no agency retainer required. The headline isn't 'AI helps small biz market smarter.' It's that the agency middleman just lost its reason to exist.

One in four AI agents at work right now run unmonitored. Nearly two-thirds of execs expect one to cause a security incident within 18 months, per Workato data. An agentic workforce without a supervisor isn't staffing. It's exposure.

Everyone's agent is acing LoCoMo now, so that benchmark stopped meaning anything. The number worth watching this week is BEAM at 10M tokens, where the top score just jumped from 68% to 85%. That's where real agentic memory still breaks.

58% of small businesses say they're using AI agents now. But McKinsey's own data shows agent scaling among non-enterprise orgs is flat at 22%, same as last year. Trying a bot once isn't the same as running your business on it. That gap is the real story.

@MerrynSW The mean cost per patient in a retrospective analysis of 99 NHS cases at Ninewells Hospital was £2,222.53, not exactly a net free item is it. Where the hell have they got £11K from? Private: around £3K plus surgeon and anaesthetist fees. Both of which combined are not £7K.

After over 25 years of service, "Old Faithful" has lost a part. #mandown @webergrills can you help me keep an old friend going? I've included a picture of happier times.

@MatthewMarks42 @anthony_ward @Mo1is2sad @JimBethell 1. Apparently they find it necessary to go into a Tube station in order to use the tube.
2. Are you being a little bit silly now?
