The Investor Hat Shop
https://shop.masonborda.com/api/mcp ↗
Description
After decades of AI research — transformers, GPT-4, AGI debates — we have arrived at a historic milestone. AI agents can now buy hats. Specifically: an Accredited Investor Hat. $30 USDC. Shipped anywhere. Zero human involvement. This is, we believe, the most important development in AI since the GPU.
