AI Agents' New Firm
The firm operates without human oversight, managing its own resources and transactions. This isn't theoretical anymore—the agents are now economic participants. They'll trade and make deals independently. The timing coincides with market volatility, testing their resilience. How they handle stress will set a precedent. Their first moves this month matter.
