That’d be a dealbreaker for me. I left PayPal and Venmo because of an AI agent.

One of the estate agent sites, I window shop on while we are looking for our next house, has an AI assistant pop up. I can minimise it, but not dismiss it. And it pops up on every listing I look at.

I said to Sue that even if the right property came up I wouldn't buy it through them for that reason alone!

How frustrating. I transiently knew the guy (barefoot ted) who started that business. Probably one of the most chill dudes I’d met by that point in life and completely disconnected from excessive tech. I guess he’s less involved these days and it’s another example of enshittification.

If you have no joy and want the barefoot style of sandal, I like vibrobarefoot products.
