The cybersecurity reporter from @BBC kind of made me think about this...he had never heard of PHP before. reddit.com/r/tech_x/comments…

Claude edited my LinkedIn profile in my own browser and LinkedIn never blinked. Elon says a card photo is the easiest way to let Grok Bot shop, unless you use its vault. I'd give agents an allowance, like a teen's first card. What would you let one buy? exagentica.ai/blog/password-…

A Password Is Not Permission | exAgentica

Personal AI agents are being sold on convenience, down to a photo of your credit card, while the biggest banks lock them out of moving money. There are better ways to give an agent limited spending...

From the Reuters bank story: a banking source said transactions from agents using a customer's shared password usually get flagged and blocked, and that they can't be treated as unauthorized if the customer shared it.

How long has that PHP bug been sitting there waiting for AI to be found?

I pay about $300 a month for AI subscriptions in my own name, and almost none of it is personal. Most of it replaced software I'd otherwise have bought (a website builder, hosting, small utilities), and none of those skipped purchases shows up anywhere. exagentica.ai/blog/software-…

The Software Purchase That Never Happens | exAgentica

My AI subscriptions are billed to me as a consumer, but most of what they do is work organizations once bought software for. When an agent does the job, the product never gets bought, and nothing...

The economics push the same way. My Claude Code use on one laptop last month would have cost 10x+ my Max plan at API prices, and Anthropic's Enterprise plan bills every token at API rates. The same work costs far less on a personal plan, and your company never sees it.

It's awkward that Grok @bot is a better search engine for my Gmail than Google.

Grok Bot and Claude Code have become my operating system. But I still push send. @bot runs my day by phone and voice, @claudeai's Claude Code builds, and @AIatMeta's open-weight Muse Spark Open is what's next. What have you stopped opening? #AIAgents exagentica.ai/blog/grok-bot-…

Grok Bot and Claude Code Have Become My Operating System | exAgentica

I spend a lot of my day in two agents instead of the apps the work belongs to. Here's how the work splits between them, what I still do myself, and why Meta's open-weight Muse Spark Open looks like...

@dhh's @omarchy calls itself "the malleable OS for the age of agents." I haven't spent a ton of time with it, but it's the local side of the same fork, and Muse Spark Open running on two Mac Studios points the same way. Pricey today, a glimpse of tomorrow.

What still make me uncomfortable: "I push send" is a habit, not a control. (I recently texted one of my Grok Bots a message meant as a text for my wife.)
