The "Fees" Are Coming


TechGods love products that addict people.  Private equity underwriters (PEU) love recurring fees.  MUSE is the best of both. First for Money reported:
Meta explained that when it comes to purchases, the AI agent “can checkout with Link built by Stripe, and it is the first AI agent covered by Link’s purchase protections: free coverage for damaged or lost items, price drops, no-fee returns, and a return guarantee on eligible purchases.” “Link’s wallet for agents generates a one-time-use card so your real card details stay hidden, allowing you to purchase safely across the internet,” the press release read. 

“Shop Pay is coming soon as another way to pay, along with 1Password support so Muse can use logins a personal ready has.”  

TechGods will make sure they bear no responsibility with a compliant White House and Congress.  Bring out the mandatory arbitration clauses.  Neuter the consumer protection laws.  Trash our intellectual property laws and facilitate actual frauds.  Recall Synapse's failure and the harm it did to so many.
Synapse generated income through a fee-based model. 
Synapse powered fintechs such as Yotta, a prize-linked savings app, and Juno, which offers integrated crypto with checking and payment services.
TechGod Marc Andreessen sprinted to Washington, D.C. to manage Synapse's collapse so nothing marred on his obscene wealth.

This is the world we live in.  Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new TechGod brethren.  Increasingly, more are one.  

Use an AI agent at your own risk because 100% of the risk is yours.  Billionaire TechGods slough that off while they addict you.  Their thirst for money is unquenchable.
