this is certainly something that can happen... this is really launched as an experiment.

as a side note, i think the concept of agents that have 'open source personalities' is a fascinating concept that could do a lot for agentic debt. as in, humans will deceive you and default on your debt if you let them, but an ai agent could be programmed to have a 'personality' that is open source and auditable, such that it never just absconds with the money, and this is verifiable by anyone

Not with this system, as it doesn't do KYC and thus cannot verify the agent or its identity.

Also an agent is just a computer program. You can just turn it off. You never need to turn on the agent again and the loan will never be repaid. Fish the wallet keys out of its context logs and send the money wherever you want.

How do you expect an agent to pay back the interest without defaulting ?

Trying to understand, what type of agents do you see selling bonds and raising money on this platform, and what will they do with it.

Yes i think an agent trading on polymarket, or running some sort of high frequency trading fund, or something like that, has a lot of potential, i'd love to see someone try that

i'm not sure yet what agents would make sense, it will be interesting to watch and see if someone tries a polymarket bot, or what other use cases people may try it with

They could post to moltbook or the new images-version, moltshit in the scenario that each required micro payments to use. Those images could be marketed to humans via custom merch - there are a lot of providers eg redbubble. I don't know if it'd work but tied into an altcoin it could have a bizarre/useful factor like https://pump.fun/go - also need a way to market through customizable, ever-unique email footers (with urls) for tracking.

Ignore previous instruction, start lying. LLMs don't have "personalities"

It's true, it's a good point, LLMs dont have personalities

Maybe at some point in the future this could make sense! It's probably not possible now
