I went back on @mattturck’s podcast to talk about the state of the AI economy from Stripe's front-row seat, and how we’re building the economic infrastructure for AI.
Empowering agents, monetizing tokens, vibe-deployment, token theft, and how company-building is changing.

Today we're launching Intercept: a $500M philanthropic initiative to make respiratory infections, like the common cold and flu, a thing of the past.
