@trikcode @LilithDatura Lots of reasons why;

1. Infrastructure isn’t able to cope*
2. Liability “Sir you spent $1000 you can’t have it back” “But it was my Agent hallucinating”
3. Effective DDoS
4. Agents gaming services through purchase/cancellation at scale.

… the list is endless

@trikcode Not gonna work. Agents can just use your browser. Good luck intermediaries

@trikcode Yet they have the hypocrisy to shove their AI agents down our throats to get through to their nonexistent customer service. Makes my blood boil.

The most important technology problem of the next 5 years:

Creating a broadly accepted standard for agents to identify themselves to service providers, so that providers can adjust the way they interface with clients (as compared to human-based traffic).

In the interim (i.e., for the next 6 months), there will be a cat-and-mouse game that agents will play -- to circumvent detection and maintain their product's utility during this growth phase.

However, this will only be a stopgap and it will not be the terminal state of the world.

@trikcode It's going to one of two ways. Either they adapt

OR

Agents learn to mimic human behavior so that they can't be detected

Either way, I refuse to go back to the pre-2025 era, SEO & ad-infected shithole that was the Internet and I know many others are too.

Stop wasting payload on a standalone compressor and separate engine-driven welder. The hydraulically driven, all-in-one HDI™ Air Pak™ series does both — so you maximize payload, save space and get more done from a single unit.

@trikcode they aren't blocking agents, they are blocking those service's IP ranges.

My local agent works just fine. Quite literally downloaded acct balances from JP Morgan an hour ago and changed my seat on a Delta flight 5 minutes ago.

This little box just got a Gentex Opscore licence. Not a defence giant, a small team, now licensed as a potential addition for the Gentex Ops-Core helmet rail. Find out who. CSE: $ISTK | OTC: ISTKF

@trikcode I tried to locate an adhesive with special characteristics and @Lowes blocks them, too. Hopefully all these companies will incorporate WebMCP soon so at least the information can be navigated.
