Ontological grammar is subjacent to active cognition and verbal faculties.
Many people label those who disagree with their positions as stupid or acting in bad faith, but the notion of ontological grammar liberates me from discussions of subjecthood, agency, and intent.

A lot of the discussion around agentic payments understandably focuses on the “wait … how exactly is this supposed to work safely?” part. Which makes sense, given that we are talking about autonomous software making decisions that eventually lead to money moving around.
So when AP2 and Verifiable Intent were contributed into the FIDO Alliance, it gave me the chance to dig into this topic a lot deeper. I wrote up my understanding in a (slightly) more technical follow-up to the announcements, intended to give a clearer picture of what has actually been contributed to the FIDO Alliance and where the thinking in the Payments Technical Working Group may be heading.
Moving this work from invention and experimentation into open standardization is a pretty important milestone. Agentic payments will ultimately need a shared, interoperable trust layer for identity, consent, and delegation. Building that with the broader ecosystem is crucial to avoid us ending up with 47 incompatible versions of “trust me, the AI meant to do that.”
Look forward to hearing your thoughts.

I face this dilemma at work all the time 😕:

In my work on Perfetto, a performance debugging tool, one question I get often is: “how do I split a Perfetto trace into multiple files?” Instead of answering directly, I say: “there isn’t an easy way to do that, but what’s leading you to collect traces large enough to want to split?” This is one of my golden rules at work. When a user asks me something “weird”: don’t answer the first version of the question. On the surface this might appear like I’m talking about the XY problem, but that stops one step short. It treats the user’s stated question as a puzzle to decode: figure out what they really meant, answer that, move on. I think we can go much further. Instead, the confusion that produced the wrong question is itself an opening, and the conversation it sparks is valuable to both sides. The user walks away with a better mental model of the tool. I walk away with a clearer picture of where the product confuses people. And sometimes, between us, we figure out that the product itself needs to change.
I like my onions pickled
Vacuum sealed
in the finest brine
Freshness is always the #intent
Fighting the forces of spoilage
that compromises all content
as time and environment
conspire to wreck
the perfect carnivore condiment
Behind dark glasses
My eyes scan with bad #intent
Ambrosial frames

Precision in language
is the current mission
Clarity of #intent
improves communication content
Direct point to the point delivery
remains the concise objective
Free from the applied tyranny
of loose misinterpretation
We have the power to conquer
these useless confusions
that drive many a conflict
only if we have the courage
to choose the straight line path
from transmitter to receiver
