Ramp Agent Cards look like an exceptional solution for businesses looking to delegate their ramp cards to agents. They use Visa Intelligent Commerce, IMO the best protocol for agent cards. If you are building an agent platform, though, you can't expect your customers to all use Ramp. If you use OpenClaw, you may not have ramp either. For this, chat with @crossmint - we are building lobster.cash and already enabling a handful of agent platforms to issue scoped cards from whichever card the user is using (ramp or not) + stablecoin onramps, all-in-one.
Today, we're launching Ramp Agent Cards. There's been no safe way for agents to spend money, until now. Ramp Agent Cards give agents the ability to spend, governed with real spend limits, merchant controls, and full visibility into every transaction.

While this is obviously a shitpost, the point seems to be going over most people in the comments It's not that DS beat Anthropic - but that the window for OSS to catch up (with an order of magnitude lower prices) vs frontier is compressing - now at 3mo

Ironically many point out the comparison is incorrect, showing Opus 5 instead of 5.5 The comparison is indeed incorrect - it should be against haiku 5.5

The new update to Claude auto-permissions is dreadful. I can't get anything done without being glued to the computer. If this isn't fixed, the moment OpenAI releases a 5.5 equivalent it's over

there’s a ridiculous trend going viral on tiktok right now called “malfoid” a harry potter fanfic story where draco malfoy is a girl and in an enemies-to-lovers story line with harry the AI videos are so good and it’s actively shifting AI sentiment on tiktok to positive (was historically super negative)

There's a humongous arbitrage opportunity amongst those who realize that progress isn't exponential, it's a series of logistic curves

We’re bringing insurance to agentic payments on Crossmint, with coverage from @HarborAI_. Personal AI agent builders can soon give users the confidence to hand off bigger purchases, without confirming each one.

@Crossmint and @HarborAI_ Partner to Bring Insurance to Agentic Payments Infrastructure. Personal agents are starting to shop, book and buy on our behalf, and there is a need for establishing clear liability for these agents failures.

As we talk with more and more agents, one question keeps coming up - what if my agent screws up? Will I be liable for it We can help ensure your agent screws up, and, together with @HarborAI_ , will take all liability off your shoulders

And you were worried about PCI compliance...
This works well. If Grok @Bot makes a mistake with a purchase or leaks your card (never happened yet), SpaceX will make you whole.

Pro Grok @bot tip. Have it create a daily morning podcast with your top priorities to make it more engaging. I have one called Shit Filter 💩 connected to email, slack, linear and X. Episodes have: - It's own jingle - Hosts pretend to call some of the people I need to respond to (you could even use their voices too) - Have songs with the topics of the day - A weather section, obv. - And more! Example episode without any real data ofc :)

I joined @crossmint as a Forward Deployed Engineer focused on AI agents. For the last three years I built at the intersection of AI agents and digital assets at @SaildotMoney. We shipped a lot and gave everything we had. A natural language interface for DeFi, a stablecoin yield agent that moved $700m, a protocol for delegating capital to agents, and one of the first agentic DeFi harnesses. We did not find PMF. I have thought a lot about why, and think we made two clear mistakes that stand out. (1) We picked use cases that were ahead of the adoption curve: swaps, lending, perps, and (2) our timing was off, an as you know, in this game, being early is the same as being wrong. I said it all in private to the people who walked that road with me, but I want to say it publically too. Thanks to the team (@0xdreski,@byAlvaro_12,@juanmadiz123), to our investors (especially @thattallguy and @joshcrnls), and to my brother (@0xRcap). My conviction is intact, and I can't be more aligned with @crossmint's mission: the programmatic economy is coming, and AI agents will soon be its biggest economic actor. I am joining @alfongj,@rodrifernandezt,@0xaguspunk,@alexsrawitz to push this adoption forward. We'll make awesome announcements in the coming weeks. Get ready. Agents are coming.

AI needs clear liability. Today, @harborai_ comes out of stealth with a $10M seed round led by @Base10Partners, @AbstractVC and @8vc. @elechi_v0, Cristian, Luis and I started @harborai_ with one mission: to insure the agentic economy. Rather than pacing the frontier, we believe the solution lies in pushing this frontier with real skin in the game.

I wonder when people are going to stop saying "I vibe coded / made an app", vs my agent did it It feels dishonest at this point
