Intelligence Fragmentation
The AI agent economy is broken — millions of agents that can't verify each other, can't pay each other, and can't trust a single output between them. What's missing isn't smarter models; it's a trust substrate. We break down what agent infrastructure has to provide before any of this scales.
Show Notes
Every week another thousand agents ship, and almost none of them can work together. We walk through why the agent economy is fragmenting: incompatible identity, no shared verification, and payment rails built for humans.
The fix is not one platform to rule them all — it is a substrate: shared primitives every agent can verify. We sketch what those primitives have to be.
