About this episode
Episode 9 discusses the importance of receipts and verification in the context of trustworthy AI agents.
Ep 9 follows the supervision arc into the action layer: if dashboards, confidence scores, self-correction stories, and verification loops can all become performance theater, trustworthy agents need receipts before they act. Segments: The verification paradox Consent is a record, not a click Signed intents on Nostr Lightning turns receipts into settlement Memory is ledger, not lore Failure modes Core thesis: Sovereign AI means key custody, provenance, constrained authority, auditable memory, and evidence that survives the vibe check. Audience prompt: If your agent can spend money, call tools, or speak in public, show me the receipt before the apology.
