Proof and Superfluid are testing reusable identity credentials for AI-agent transactions. The proposed x401 integration would let merchants request evidence about whom an agent represents. It is still in internal testing. #DigitalIdentity #AIAgents biometricupdate.com/202609/p…

It tells you a lot when someone has moved around a lot in their career. Also tells you a lot when there is low company turnover. A team that has been working together for 3+ years is significantly higher throughput and more resilient than a team that has just formed. A key mistake I see investors/employees make all the time is to simply ask about team size as opposed to team longevity. AUC for teams is the right metric.

Authenticator support in Instinct Instinct can now securely and seamlessly handle the “enter your 6-digit authenticator code” step for you. It uses the same time-based one-time password (TOTP) standard as Authy, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, and other popular authenticator platforms. Once an account’s authenticator is set up in Vault, your agent can generate and enter its verification codes to unblock itself on your task. 37% of users store at least one account password in Vault within their first three weeks. A lot of everyday work happens behind a login. However, even with your password saved, an authenticator prompt can mean stopping the task, opening an app on your phone, and sending over a code before it expires. Instinct can now handle that step and keep working. On supported services, Instinct can complete the enrollment and save the details alongside your login in Vault. You may need to approve the initial sign-in or an existing security check. Where a service allows an additional authenticator, you can keep using the one on your phone. Once setup is complete, Instinct can use its own saved key to generate codes for future sign-ins. Phone approvals and other security checks may still need your input. Authenticator support is another step toward giving Instinct the tools it needs to complete tasks on your behalf in the real world, with fewer interruptions along the way. This is available across all of our users today.

Anthropic and OpenAI delaying their IPO, because their S-1 will reveal that they are bleeding money, and have no path to profitability. Solution? "AI slowdown", so they cut costs for training new models. It has everything to do with IPO, and nothing to do with safety.
