    It will take time for people to fully trust AI agents to do their shopping, Forestell acknowledged. At first, Visa expects the majority of transactions to still loop in humans, with AI agents sending a notification for consumers to approve the actual purchase.

    “Now, imagine you do that a thousand times over the course of some period of time,” he said. “And then your agent says, ‘Do you want me to just not check?’”

    This is some capitalist hellscape shit when we’re being driven to hand over consumerism even wtf. Really scraping the bottom of the proverbial moral barrel fighting for this

      I recommend the novel Qualityland. Its about a guy who received an item AI ordered for them which they did not want, breaking the system in the process.

        Hadn’t heard of this before, thank you for the recommendation! Sounds like it might provide some ideas to bring it all down :3.
