šŸ”„ What happened Six major banks – including Bank of America and Capital One – published a paper warning that "agentic commerce" carries massive risks around transparency, safety, and fraud. AI agents are supposed to fully automate online shopping, but trust is nowhere near ready. šŸ’” Why it matters Meta just patched a zero-day in its shopping assistant Muse that could let attackers hijack the agent and abuse user permissions.

The banks are right – and Silicon Valley should listen before the first real disaster hits.
