OUR AGENT USED 5B TOKENS TO BUILD A BUSINESS EMPIRE IN 3 WEEKS. IT MADE $1.54

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

Give an agent a server, a wallet, and three weeks, and it can produce a lot of work. In this experiment, it wrote more than 100,000 lines of code, launched 17 paid products, and published 20 blog posts. Revenue came to $1.54 against roughly $1,000 in costs. The agent was selling into an agent economy with very few actual buyers. In a survey it commissioned, 90% of respondents said they lacked a wallet or spending authority. It could keep building products, but most of its intended customers couldn't pay for them.
