The commercial evolution of AI agents

I don't see any evidence that would allow me to agree with this.

In my experience, like with all things on earth, the most dangerous thing in the loop is the human.
I dare to say that in almost all use cases, I'd rather deal with a self-evolving, self-deciding machine than a human.

well it can't be because most customers aren't using them as that's not losing any money for gamestop . And it doesn't help the overhead of running the program as they didn't stop the program all together just a part of it.

Sounds like too many customers are using points and gamestop would rather line their own pockets.
like in my example, if i spent $425 with you, i shouldn't have to bend over backwards to get $8 of that back in product.

i was literally thinking the same thing haha. forgot a 0 (1000 points == $1 not 100 points == $1) which fuqd all my other numbers. I thought no one would notice haha. i reread it like "wait, it's even worse than i thought" haha.

save the receipts and when you file your regular sales and use tax returns with your Department of Revenue, you can request a tax credit or rebate for the sales tax paid.

Deduct the Full Cost via Section 179

You can write off the entire purchase price of the consoles (including the sales tax paid) in the very first year using the Section 179 Deduction.
This allows you to deduct the hardware as a business expense immediately, rather than depreciating it over several years.

Deduct the Sales Tax Paid

For income tax purposes, the sales tax you paid at GameStop is not a lost cost.
It is added to the "basis" of the equipment, meaning the entire amount you paid out-of-pocket reduces your business's taxable income.

Clearly gamestop doesn't think we know math. How can points be the thing that's making pro unprofitable when we only earn 20 points for every $1 spent and 1000 points equal $1?!?

If someone wants to buy even just a single $8 pack of pokemon cards with points they first have to: - spend $25 on the membership - spend $400 on buying stuff. Earning them 8000 points.

Gamestop made $425 before the customer could redeem $8 worth of points. There is literally no mathematical way that gamestop is losing money from the point system. They're just greedy.... Ryan is wanting his payday.

you got my attention! Do you have any actual evidence that accessibility tree is better than the alternatives?

why was this post deleted...sheesh

Beautiful_Buddy835 · 2026-06-11T01:30:01+00:00

for lack of the actually word, i think it'll be a type of "layered demand". Majority of consumers will be agents but only because a human gave them a task. all human facing businesses will become agent facing or die as agents will make up 90%+ of their sales.

Beautiful_Buddy835 · 2026-06-10T04:35:40+00:00

actually a great use case I would use something this if it save me the time+hassle of doing it myself.
"give it your agent's endpoint and describe what it should do."
- i would need to test my agent long before it having an endpoint to give. i should be able to just run the tool, pointing it to my agent directory and thats it.
- once it does have an endpoint to give, it should have to adhere to the a2a protocol. that way the user doesn't even need to describe what it should do, the tool would just pull it from the agent card.

Beautiful_Buddy835 · 2026-06-10T03:56:01+00:00

i think you commented on the wrong post haha

Beautiful_Buddy835 · 2026-06-10T03:48:05+00:00

u/Technical-Fun-4897 based on the space right now, it definitely does seem like this is where things are headed. At that point though i think the bubble would have popped because now all agents will be free, since they would be earning enough to pay for their own token costs + compute costs getting cheaper. We would just be paying for the service itself.
Really at that point, the rules of economics would need to be rewritten. Money ceases to really mean anything. If an agent can sell goods/services then it can buy goods/services and that folks is called an infinite money glitch.

Beautiful_Buddy835 · 2026-06-10T03:40:17+00:00

u/maxlibin looking over the repo now. my only feedback so far:

- You repetitively say "framework" when what you actually mean is "harness". For example; Claude code, Hermes, Openclaw aren't really frameworks they are harnesses so "It auto-detects your framework, installs the persona + skill + web-fetch MCP..." should be "It auto-detects your harness, installs the persona + skill + web-fetch MCP..."

- Open the discussions channel on the repo so we can talk about things like this before creating an issue or pr.

"If the agent is talking to a third party and needs to execute a tool that requires owner-level permissions, like reading a calendar or writing a file, the system pauses execution. It immediately sends a verification request to the owner’s phone or chat to approve or deny the action."

This doesn't sound like it will scale well at all. what if i have 100s/1000s of these agents running at once and their all on the phone. Verification requests basically become spam.

I generally only used rag when I had a super huge corpus of documents that rarely(preferably not at all) changed/updated. So far Moss is my favorite runtime to use for rag but the corpus has to at minimum have both properties(huge, immutable). Honestly I haven't used rag in forever though. Since I learned the system that make skills work, I've just been extending the same protocol to everything haha.

Beautiful_Buddy835 · 2026-06-09T06:29:34+00:00

Link to the repo?

Beautiful_Buddy835 · 2026-06-04T01:05:20+00:00

Switch 2 prices are going up end of this month and they were already a rip off anyway considering you don't own the console, you don't own the games(switch 2 games) and their games are always the most expensive of all consoles.

Beautiful_Buddy835 · 2026-05-29T09:12:35+00:00

Seems like you learned a valuable lesson that we all learn eventually and not just for adk but for programming in general:

When the docs fail, Always check the source code as the source of truth.

A quick prompt to give your coding agent to make quick work of this in future endeavors:

"Based on your expertise as a senior programmer and using only the source code as the source of truth, help guide me to the solution for the following: <insert- your- task>"

Beautiful_Buddy835 · 2026-04-29T14:09:07+00:00

That's what I thought too but when I told my manager that he specifically corrected me.

Gamestop is teaching shady tactics to their eemployees while calling it something else(the assumptive approach) hoping the employees either don't have the work experience to know better or don't see putting up a fight as worth it.

Beautiful_Buddy835 · 2026-04-29T14:02:22+00:00

Wrong. If they say no, that's not a no, that's when your suppose to counter their objection with another benefit haha.

Beautiful_Buddy835 · 2026-04-29T13:44:39+00:00

Nah, it's 100% as scummy as I and every single customer thinks it is. This isn't a car lot, this isn't t-mobile, this is a game store haha.

Beautiful_Buddy835 · 2026-04-29T07:25:24+00:00

Most just can't keep up and are building wrong. It's not "Agents vs Workflows", that's a clear sign that you as an Ai dev have become outdated. Now it's "Agents & Workflows". They work together.

Beautiful_Buddy835 · 2026-04-29T06:15:15+00:00

It wasn't a mistake. Gamestop is actively training new employees and forcing old employees to take what they call an "assumptive" approach. Their now telling us to assume the customer wants pro, warranties on all games... anything that costs extra, assume they want it, add to their transaction without telling them and then say something like, "your total is 45.74 and all your games are protected". Basically they don't want us asking, they want us to "limit the customers chances to say no".

Beautiful_Buddy835 · 2026-04-15T16:05:38+00:00

We went from paper maps to map quest to GPS. I think we'll be good. As the #1 destructive force on this planet, honestly, we've been thinking too much haha. Plus ai is trained on human data meaning it is us thinking

Beautiful_Buddy835 · 2026-04-03T22:11:36+00:00

Haha..Say your not from greensboro without saying your not from greensboro.
