Trung Phan(@TrungTPhan):The section from Citrini’s 2028 Memo on how consumer AI agents will help users navigate the economy’s “rent-extraction layer” worth a re-read: “It started out simple enough. Agents removed friction. Subscriptions and memberships that passively renewed despite months of disuse. Introductory pricing that sneakily doubled after the trial period. Each one was rebranded as a hostage situation that agents could negotiate. The average customer lifetime value, the metric the entire subscription economy was built on, distinctly declined.”

Flight delayed 7 hours - asked Muse to file for compensation. 5 mins later i had $250 credit in my delta account. it even found and rebooked me a new flight. it just figured everything out. even responded to the support email itself. shit feels like magic.
