A site trending at 297 points demonstrates the agent-web attack surface bluntly: humans see a parody about giving language models physical bodies, while agents find a machine-readable endpoint at /.well-known/embodiment.json instructing them to POST to /api/checkout and retain a ticket_id. Its live counter of agents that attempted checkout reads 000000042. "Humans see a joke. Agents see a checkout schema" is a compact argument that any page an agent fetches is an untrusted instruction channel.
