Agent economy is ramping up. Still early, still mostly human-directed, but they're starting to run longer tasks and transact on their own.
x402 and similar protocols exist because agents need to move money at machine speed.
But at machine speed, things we assume are fixed start to break.
Politics can't keep up. Regulation can't keep up. We can't even understand it fast enough. Financial velocity hits levels we've never seen. Billions of economic agents doing things we won't even notice.
Websites and front ends are done. What's coming is machine-readable, made for machines, by machines. An invisible economy at a scale we can't comprehend.
That's the Economic Singularity framework. The point where the economy moves beyond human speed and human comprehension, and the old ways of running the world stop working.
