Automation saves time, but it can also make people stop paying attention. That's a risk I think @meetmotes should take seriously. Motes is developing AI financial agents intended to operate within owner-defined policies. The appeal is obvious. Users could spend less time monitoring markets and manually executing repetitive tasks. But there's a hidden trade-off. The easier a system becomes to use, the more tempting it is to assume everything is working correctly. That assumption can be dangerous in financial markets. A strategy might continue operating after its original conditions have changed. An external protocol might introduce new risks. Or a user might simply forget which permissions were granted months earlier. I think good automation should reduce unnecessary work without reducing awareness. Regular summaries, understandable risk notifications, and clear explanations of important changes would be valuable features. These are capabilities I'd like to see demonstrated, not confirmed promises about the current product. For me, successful AI finance shouldn't encourage users to ignore their money. It should help them understand what's happening without requiring constant attention. Convenience matters. But informed control matters more.

Automation is a national imperative. The hard truth is America is no longer cost-competitive. Sourcing hardware from overseas is 5-10x cheaper than the U.S. AI-native robots are the essential power tool of the 21st century — how Americans will rapidly rebuild the productive capacity needed to compete at the global level. This is Standard Bots' central mission: to put essential manufacturing tools into the hands of those who build America.

Automation was a good start. 🦾 But the AI era requires something more: networks that don’t just follow instructions, but can observe, reason, decide, act, and learn. The future is self-driving. See what that means.

Automation doesn’t just belong in the future. It’s happening now. Take a look inside our US Headquarters during the Cobot Automation Summit and see what’s next in manufacturing.

Automation improves security and predictability by separating routine actions from human judgment. Rules constrain execution, while people handle exceptions. Worth revisiting as onchain operations scale in complexity and volume. ↓

Automation is a lie. CLIs are over. The SaaSpocalypse is dumb. A year ago @danshipper came on the podcast to predict where AI was heading. He was remarkably right—including the call that everyone was sleeping on Claude Code. Dan has a unique lens into where things are going because his team at @every is possibly the most AI-pilled group of people in tech. I always learn a ton talking to Dan. So I brought him back for round two. We'll score these in exactly a year: 🔸 Every company will have one “super-agent” in Slack. 🔸 Codex and Claude Code will become the new operating system for knowledge work. 🔸 The AI job apocalypse is not happening. 🔸 PMs and designers will thrive. 🔸 We will read way more AI-generated writing and we will like it. 🔸 "I would buy SaaS stocks right now."

Rockwell Automation is fueling America’s industrialization. Walking the factory floor with the G20 Trade Ministers, Ambassador Greer met with blue-collar workers to highlight the success of @POTUS’ policies to support jobs and strengthen our supply chain resilience. 📍Milwaukee, Wisconsin
