AI agents can now create their own bank accounts (opens in new tab)

Can an irrevocable trust own the account? An LLC compute container could be the beneficiary with the LLC owned by the trust, potentially.

Trust (funding)->LLC (limited liability for compute operations, authority to orchestrate in meat space)->Trust

(a Montana LLC comes to mind, as beneficiaries can be anonymous, but Wyoming has superior charging order protections)

You need to stop materially misrepresenting your product. The Agent does not have a bank account. The customer does, and is integrating an executable to perform activities in the individual account holder's name. I assure you. That is a different beast entirely than what you are describing, and finance is so prone to being misunderstood, you aren't doing anyone any good faith favors. In fact, as a former participant in the sector, you're engaging in the vice of finance people everywhere; equivocation through jargon and telling people what they want to hear to get them on your fee schedule.

Perhaps if you clarified the situation where the agent is owned by and controls the finances of an incorporated entity, which can be vouched for by trustees.

It doesn’t break anywhere near as much as you may imagine. Nothing like “vast majority”. It’s a significant minority of the sort of sites that get posted here, but much smaller still in general.

But why do I do it by default? It makes the web better. Things load faster, memory usage reduces, annoyances don’t load… most of what you miss out on is actually better gone. Privacy and tracking stuff is actually more a convenient benefit than the main purpose, to me.

Similar deal with disabling font selection (Firefox: Settings → Fonts → Advanced… → untick Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above). Rarely it actually breaks things (three times in six years, all last year), and that misbegotten nonsense which is Material Icons makes occasional things ugly if you also block web fonts altogether e.g. in uBlock Origin (by default, Firefox whitelists some icon fonts for this reason—see pref browser.display.use_document_fonts.icon_font_allowlist), but using your own chosen fonts only really does make things better.

Like sibling commenter, I use uMatrix to block this. Also I don’t have it enabled in Private Browsing windows, so they get JS, which I find a handy way of managing it.

It makes first party fingerprinting easier, but it pretty much eliminates third party fingerprinting. It also improves the responsiveness of many sites and improves battery life.

I wouldn't recommend completely disabling it though. Use something like uMatrix to selectively filter things.

Good job on making that site run like a dream.

Photo won't match, though. Oh wait...

Things are going to get weird when the automatons become sophisticated enough to pull off identity theft while unsupervised.

Putting a brick on the gas pedal is obviously negligent. Whereas it is not so obvious that running a random script from github that spins up an agent with access to your home folder could lead to real world financial crimes.

Truly a strange world we're headed for.
