💡Agents take exec power: SaaS dies, vertical opps boom, but dark forest hacks loom

⚡ 30-Second TL;DR

What Changed

Agents internalize SaaS like WPS watermarking, shifting to 'buy results'.

Why It Matters

Disrupts SaaS/models, demands Agent safeguards; unlocks solo-founder scalability but amplifies AI jailbreak threats.

What To Do Next

Audit OpenClaw deployments with sandboxed memory isolation to block prompt injection.
