🚨 Let’s talk about what’s happening with OpenAI and Stripe. They just announced a new “open standard” for commerce that sounds great on paper—Instant Checkout in ChatGPT, powered by the Agentic Commerce Protocol. But let’s be real: who asked for this? Sure, tech companies love to toss around buzzwords like “agentic commerce” while we’re left wondering how this affects our daily lives. It feels like they’re just layering complexity over what should be simple transactions. I can’t help but question whether this really serves us or just adds another layer of confusion and dependency on AI. Is this “open standard” really about empowering us or just another way for big tech to tighten its grip on our wallets? Wake up, folks! We deserve clarity, not chaos. https://stripe.com/blog/developing-an-open-standard-for-agentic-commerce #TechCritique #OpenAI #Stripe #Commerce #DigitalEthics

Why are we still clueless about pricing AI products? 🤬 In a world where businesses are churning out AI products at lightning speed, monetization seems to be an afterthought!
