Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) announced by Google

The Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) is a new open standard developed by Google and over 60 partners to enable AI agents to securely initiate and complete transactions on behalf of users. It aims to provide a framework for authorization, authenticity, and accountability in digital payments, allowing for seamless interactions between AI agents and merchants. Extension to MCP and A2A

Book Besser Denken

new relevant book about „thinking“ with takes AI into account
„don’t stop thinking“
Will have a blog post out at svenhaiges.de next week
The AI will always tell you how great you are. Critical thinking is important.

Andreas: Sora2 and Your Face

Adam Conover about Sora and the AI Bubble, TechSauna Discord’s AI Channel by Mate – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55Z4cg5Fyu4 Sora proves the AI Bubble will burst so hard

More and more news about totally inflated expectations. Let’s see what happens.

What could possibly go wrong.

Don’t give your face to OpenAI

Copyrighted material, fake news, racist content

5$ / 10s, with 4 out of 5 videos in the making are unusable.

Burning the planet with datacenters.

Andreas: OpenAI does Adult content

OpenAI did not respond to the BBC’s requests for comment. „Will treat adult users as adults“

Could be related to the fact that OnlyFans is tge most ‚revenue efficient‘ company in the world (revenue per employee)

Summer’s Over, Let’s Talk Hacking!

Hey everyone, and welcome back to Saunacast! We’re kicking things off by shaking off the vacation sand. Sven’s back from a sunny trip to France, while Andreas has been hacking in the Netherlands. The biggest news, however, is that Sven has officially joined the 21st century with a brand-new fiber connection. The future is now, and it is fast. (but lagging with 160ms latency)

Let’s talk about WHY2025!

Speaking of the future, we’re looking back at the biggest event this year: WHY2025.

If you’re not familiar, WHY2025 is part of a legendary Dutch hacker camp series, that happened from August 8th to 12th, 2025. This isn’t just another conference; it’s the tenth event in a series that stretches all the way back to 1989 (GHP, HAR, OHM, SHA, MCH, and more). It’s a proper milestone and a must-attend event for anyone in the hacker and maker community.

Andreas joined a village this time, the „Flying Objects“ — a cozy corner of the campground with four tents, a communal kitchen, and, of course, co-located with groups that tested out cool flying objects.

Between the tech talks and creative chaos, Sven talks about upon the Kristallmarathon, a half-marathon that takes place in a salt mine. Because, why not? A link is in the shownotes, and chances are you’ll be able to meet Sven there.

As far as WHY2025 goes, it’s community organized.

The conference had a Call for Papers ! Any one could submit his project or an idea to share, and had a chance to submit it, and to get into the official schedule.

A Quick Warning About the Badge

The conference badge is always a highlight, but there’s a serious heads-up for this one. Early versions have been identified as a potential fire hazard. Please be careful and read the community warning first published on the Revspace forum. For official info, keep an eye on the badge wiki.

The Future of A2A Communication

Changing gears, we explored a topic that’s getting us really excited: Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication. This is a concept we’re also digging into on our sister project, #labstalk. We briefly discussed Gibberlink and how it could be the future of how autonomous systems talk to each other.

Want to go down the rabbit hole? We highly recommend this video:
Agent to Agent Communication & Gibberlink on YouTube

Come Say Hi!

Finally, a little housekeeping. Our next Munich Tech Sauna is happening on September 11th at Aquariush. Come hang out, chat about tech, and relax. We’d love to see you there
