Get ready to get under the covers and learn about the x402 payment protocol! Mastercard is laying the foundation to support/enable agent to agent payments aka fully automated no human needed payments! Agent Pay for Machines, is their platform that lets AI agents and software systems make secure, automated payments across cards, bank accounts and stablecoins. The solution claims it will create trust by authenticating AI agents, enforcing spending limits and guaranteeing settlement through Mastercard’s network. More than 30 companies, including Coinbase, Stripe and Adyen are participating and the system will support the Polygon, Solana and Base blockchains, with more to come later this year. https://www.coindesk.com/business/2026/06/10/mastercard-prepares-for-a-future-where-ai-agents-make-payments-with-latest-introduction #AI #AIAgents #AIPayment #MasterCard #x402 #CoinBase #Stripe #Adven #Polygon #Solana #Base #BlockChain #Payments #Money #AutomatedPayments #AgentPayforMachines #DigitalAssets #AgenticCommerce #Trust #Security

The Guardian | ‘I didn’t want to be the guinea pig’: inside tech’s AI-fueled manager purge by Danielle Abril AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Tech firms are rapidly using AI to cut middle‑manager layers, promising “efficiency” by shifting work from supervisors to reports and relying on AI agents for tasks like drafting documents, code generation, and asynchronous updates. Companies such as Coinbase, Meta, Block, Amazon and others have combined massive AI investments with large layoffs, often reducing the number of managers and expanding their responsibilities, which experts warn can erode mentorship, increase workload stress, create new bottlenecks, and risk poor decision‑making, data leaks, and reduced product quality. Studies show middle‑manager openings in the U.S. fell 42 % since 2022, and analysts predict that while AI‑driven structures may speed decisions, they also diminish human interaction, limit career‑advancement opportunities, and could ultimately require a re‑introduction of human oversight to maintain organizational health.

Irish Independent : Independent | LinkedIn planning to cut 5pc of staff as tech industry layoffs continue AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

The layoffs are not linked to AI‑driven job displacement, and come despite a 12 % revenue increase in the latest quarter. The move follows a wave of tech‑sector cutbacks across companies such as Coinbase, Meta, Amazon and PayPal, and follows LinkedIn’s recent opening of a new EMEA headquarters in Dublin and Microsoft’s broader voluntary redundancy programmes in its Irish operations.
