15 years of Money20/20, and it’s the age of the machines.

Just last year, we were talking about the coming era of machine-to-machine payments. Back then, we got a lot of puzzled looks and “Huhs?!”

What a difference a year makes.

Session management is a bitch.

Claude rolls out passkeys, and soon after, things start going down:

“File storage is temporarily unavailable. Please retry.”

Could be entirely unrelated, but the timing is suspicious. Authentication changes have a funny way of exposing dependencies far beyond the login screen.

Kachyng Inc. today published “When AI Agents Go Shopping,” the second paper in its State of Agent Commerce series. The paper walks the full agent-commerce protocol stack in the order you would actually build it, layer by layer, through one running story: a customer, a sock shop, and its wool supplier.

AI agents are beginning to transact — searching, carting, checking out, and paying on behalf of people and businesses. In under two years, more than a dozen protocols have appeared to standardize this. The paper maps all of them in plain English, and each layer gets two treatments: what it does, and where it may break.

Three findings emerge from the map.

First, retail agent commerce is being standardized quickly. Discovery, checkout, customer approval, and payment verification each now have credible, well-backed protocols, although rivals overlap and several have already changed shape after first contact with the market.

Second, every protocol on the map assumes the business's internal logic is already agent-ready. None of them defines it.

Third, enterprise commerce — contracts, purchase orders, approvals, invoices, payment terms — remains almost entirely unaddressed, and that is where the money is: global B2B payment volume runs at roughly $89 trillion a year against about $6 trillion for retail e-commerce.

What is missing is an operating layer: the machinery that turns software built for humans into governed surfaces agents can safely operate, with identity, policy, approvals, limits, and evidence built in. The paper's closing addendum describes how Kachyng's AGX and IDX address exactly that layer.

Checking out IoS 27 beta’s Apple Intelligence. Was using it to extend a photo. Apple somehow took Kai’s pink toddler seat and turned it into a smiling pink haired stranger in the back seat.

Over the last several months I’ve noticed something strange about Claude’s writing lately.

Sometimes it doesn’t sound like it’s having a conversation. It sounds like it’s narrating the state of the session: what happened, what changed, what still matters, what can be ignored, and what comes next.

At first, that feels impersonal. Almost like the model is writing notes to itself.

But I think that may be the point.

This goes back to AI’s lack of real memory. The model is trying to preserve continuity inside a limited context window, so the context-management layer starts leaking into the response itself.

That is useful, but it also feels unnatural.

This is exactly the problem we’re working on with Cynapa: how do you give AI durable context, continuity, and working memory without making the conversation feel like a status report?

The goal should not just be better recall.

It should be better collaboration.

@maranv33 Thanks buddy! We should catch up. Happy 4th.

Happy 250th Birthday, America.

Most of us celebrate on July 4th, but it was July 2, 1776, that the Continental Congress voted for independence. Today is the day America truly became an independent nation. The Declaration, adopted two days later, explained that decision to the world.

It feels fitting that this milestone arrives in the middle of a USMNT run that has brought so many Americans together.

After a decade where it’s been easy to focus on what separates us, this team has shown America at its best. Every background, every ethnicity, every story. Tens of thousands singing the anthem together. Players praying openly before matches. I’m not religious, but I respect that they can express their faith while standing shoulder to shoulder with teammates who believe something different.

Last night captured it perfectly: a man down, backs against the wall, and someone steps up and bends a free kick through the wall.

That’s America.

For a little while, the labels disappear. Same crest. Same hope. Same belief.

Thank you to the players and coaches who wore that crest with pride. You reminded us that we still have far more that unites us than divides us.

Happy 250th, America. 🇺🇸

That free kick today was absolutely incredible!

I was talking to a couple of guys right as it was being set up, and we were all bracing ourselves not to expect much. We've seen attempts like that fizzle out so many times in the past. But my god... what a strike.

The real impact of that kick is going to be what it does for American soccer. It completely shattered a wall we had in our own minds about what is possible. From this point forward, there's going to be a total transformation in what we can achieve.

Just imagine all the 10-year-olds who were watching that live today. Great things are ahead for this country in soccer! 📷

There are a few sporting memories that I will never forget—Kapil Dev's catch at the '83 World Cup (which changed Indian cricket forever). Malik Tillman's kick will be another..

@DanielLurie This is brilliant - we do need to clean up the transportation issue. I was at the Switzerland/Jordan game and the egress was a mess - luckily i opted to get a ride out.

Gorgeous piece.

Just look at the passing and sequence of play for the USMNT in the buildup to Gio Reyna's goal to make it 4-1 against Paraguay in their World Cup opening match.

Is the bench facing the right direction. Is it me or are the two slide bars not at 90 degrees.
