I just hope I live to see the day personal agents are empowered to make ad hoc use of paid services on our behalf—via eg AITP (Agent Interaction & Transaction Protocol), which is specifically designed to enable autonomous, secure communication, negotiation, and value exchange between agents across trust boundaries. AITP includes explicit capabilities for "Payments" (AITP-01) and "Data Request" (AITP-03), allowing structured sharing of sensitive information like addresses and passwords that can be programmatically verified and executed.

Similarly, the Coral Protocol aims to be an open and decentralized infrastructure for "The Internet of Agents," with "built-in economic transactions" at its core. This means agents can be compensated for their contributions via on-chain micropayments

Oh, damn, no, that sounds like an expense-tracking nightmare. Budgeting becomes the principal executive input.

Last line of your comment is what I was thinking the entire time. Another layer of abstraction between our minds and our wallets.

JFC, these crypto people never stop! No matter how many times their tech has shown itself it be just about useless other than for illegal activities or for scamming people, they keep pushing it in every new tech space that exists.

I swear 100 years from now someone will be inventing faster then light travel, and there will be some tech scammers posting on HN on "how much better it would be on chain". Or how "the engine could be better if it used a decentralized crypto protocol."

The allure of being in the ground floor of a new scam just must be that great.
