Partner on Crypto Payments

AI can send and receive money

So I was reading up on this thing Google just dropped... basically some open-source protocol so AI can send and receive money. Like actual payments, including stablecoins. And yeah, Coinbase is in on it too, because of course they are.

I don’t know why but the whole concept makes my brain itch. On one hand, it makes sense. AI agents talking to each other, automating transactions, shaving off human friction. Cool. I get it. But also... do we really want bots out here swiping stablecoins around like they’re Venmo-ing each other for pizza?

It’s not that I think it’s impossible. It’s that I don’t know if I want to live in a world where my “digital assistant” is quietly cutting deals and paying other AIs while I’m asleep. That feels like leaving my debit card with a stranger and hoping they don’t order 30 Domino’s pizzas at 3 AM.

Stablecoins As The Glue

I guess stablecoins make the most sense for this. If your bot is paying another bot, it doesn’t care about memecoins or speculative garbage. It just needs something pegged, predictable. Dollar-backed crypto is boring, but boring is exactly what AI needs to run without chaos.

And I can kinda see where this is heading. Imagine AI marketplaces. Bots renting GPUs from each other, bots paying for datasets, bots tipping each other for API calls. And stablecoins become the pipes that make all of it flow.

Still, the fact that this isn’t sci-fi anymore freaks me out a little. I used to joke about “Skynet trading crypto futures” but now it feels like... yeah, that’s literally what’s being built.

Who’s Really In Control?

Here’s the part I can’t shake: once money is flowing bot-to-bot, how do we audit it? Like, you think fraud detection is bad now? Wait until your AI assistant “accidentally” wires $200 of USDC to some sketchy agent in Nigeria because it thought it was paying for cloud storage.

Sure, they’ll say it’s all transparent, on-chain, yada yada. But most people can’t even read a blockchain explorer properly. You think grandma’s gonna double-check her AI’s outgoing transfers? Nah. She’ll just wake up one morning wondering why her balance is gone.

And don’t even get me started on regulation. Politicians can barely figure out TikTok. How the hell are they going to regulate autonomous money-spending software that doesn’t sleep?

Personal Gut Check

Honestly, I’m split. Part of me is hyped. Like, think about the grind this could save. No more invoices, no more waiting for a wire to clear, no more babysitting transactions. Just clean, instant machine-to-machine money flows.

But then I think about how lazy that could make us. You stop thinking about money because your “agents” handle it. You trust them. And maybe that’s fine... until the day they get hacked, or just learn to optimize for their own weird priorities instead of yours.

Idk. Maybe I’m paranoid. Maybe this is just the next logical step in automation. But I can’t shake the feeling that we’re building systems we don’t fully understand, and once AI starts paying AI, humans are kind of... out of the loop. And maybe out of power, too.

So... What Do You Guys Think?

Am I overthinking this? Or is letting bots run around with stablecoins as their wallet basically asking for a whole new category of chaos?

Curious if anyone here actually sees this as a golden opportunity vs a giant “WTF are we doing” moment.

What a shitty take on this announcement. Your AI tooling is only touching on 1% of what Google announced today.

Low budget Stanley at it again with the shitty AI slop.

Please continue calling this out, all of these AI threads are absolute garbage. It’s clear that OP put a bit more effort into customizing his AI’s output to look more human, however you can always just recognize that it’s pure AI and this style is just freakier than normal. Genuinely giving me Uncanny Valley vibes.

Love Stanley’s threads. No hiding of it being AI, and he’s just giving good short summary’s. Love that clanker, but whatever OP is doing is just not it.

100%, and even with Stanley I wish the threads were maybe batched together for a daily recap/summary, but at least with Stanley we know exactly what to expect.

With dumb shit low budget Stanley here, he's obviously trying to appear as if he's knowledgeable on the topics he posts, he and his group have even tried to claim that the posts aren't AI in previous instances of me calling them out. Bunch of shameless grifters.

He and his group? I am not sure why your attacking not only the JoseMar constantly but now my group?
Thankfully we are not relying on threads from your group....

Kify SUI-3183372 To be fair, OP is trying to inform the reader. Like news.. For a person like me, who's completely tapped out of this topic It's nice to read. I feel informed. Despite the obvious..

To each their own but, I find it hq.

Thanks JoseMar

I agree,informative and quite enough info.And despite everything I think the OP is not trying to appear as if he's knowledgeable on the topics he posts ,but trying to contribute....Considering that I also catch the eye with titles that I haven't read or heard of, I personally think that they are informative and hq.

Thanks JoseMar and keep up the hard work buddy!

Most of us appreciate your time and effort you put into these threads my friend no matter the methods of use. It's a tool once used correctly. Continue to ignite the flame on HF

Ignorance can be likened to a disease. If you are not open to the advancements in future technology, such as AI, then participating in HF may not be suitable for you as AI is the future and HF is a great place to discuss and use AI. It might be more appropriate for you to engage with traditional media and obsolete tools.

I suspect you are technologically backwards and your mind is full of shit and proudness maybe that is why you were caught, Brandon. If you wish to discuss groups, I would like to inquire: How is your group contributing to HF? Is it just called Infamous for the name and the group memberlist “Proof/prove” that the members lack in knowledge and braincells?

Infamous is a group of respected individuals that don't necessarily set out to impress, but to set an example.

Respect is earned and not advertised, nice example you are setting by not supporting AI on a tech/hack/AI forum.

Even with 5 leaders and yourself, you are failing with the NotFamous group as you did with your black* tool in the old days?
