It's also known as "commodification of labour", and AI is just the latest and greatest tool to do it. Luddites complained that the trajectory of technology was to allow less skilled workers to mass produce goods via machines

Why don't we first assume OpenAI can create a cold fusion reactor and then give them a trillion dollars to get it done?

That's not how namespacing works though, is it? Getting UUID 'A' from app 'X' is easily distinguishable from UUID 'A' from app 'Y'.

You're glossing over the fact that they assumed youtube would want to assign a UUID to each pixel in a 4k@60fps video as the use case that this would fail for...

I don't think they're discounting that distrust can be legitimate, they're questioning whether it's useful to distrust somebody when it's not your job to micromanage them or they're providing adequate output.

Going a step further, I live in a reality where you can train most people against phishing attacks like that. How accurate is the comparison if LLMs can't recover from phishing attacks like that and become more resilient?

Are you not worried that anthropomorphizing them will lead to misinterpreting the failure modes by attributing them to human characteristics, when the failures might not be caused in the same way at all? Why anthropomorphize if not to dismi

I don't understand your logic. Should security reports never be published that say "hash the password before storing it in the DB". Boring research is boring most of the time, that doesn't make it unimportant, no?

One of the things I'm not looking forward to with people "just throwing it through an LLM for a final pass" is the loss of individual voice. Everything is starting to sound the same, and it's becoming monotonous

Yea, this sounds like "Microsoft teams no longer supporting video on Linux and old versions of mac/windows" more than anything

So the name being wrong means the department should be gutted? Overly-serious naming is hardly a reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

What "intended uses" are there for it other than being an unregulated options market with constant scams and a "code is law" tool? I would imagine any other legitimate use would be served better by traditional database&#

If you're authenticating the exact same way you would to an HTTP api(put an API key in the config), why does MCP need to exist instead of just plugging in the API key + link to openapi specs in an "Agent API Config"? I was re

How will this work when people are talking about third party MCP servers(e.x. booking.com, GitHub, etc.)

Don't open source developers and users of their software also benefit from the CVE database? If it were privately funded, what incentive would these private companies have to track bugs for these open source projects that don't ma

Yes, as it would be a public good to everyone to be able to know where the potholes(that aren't profitable to fix for these private companies apparently) are so they can avoid them. They might take a step back and realize that it wou

> So what? You’re basically claiming that it’ll fail because some companies won’t want to provide too much value for free. > If GitHub has an MCP server, you’re still paying them to host your code (potentially) So are you saying that

That's neat, but the bitcoin whitepaper opens with: > Abstract. A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution

MCP is not self describing by default either. I can implement a tool and not add it to the definitions, much like you can implement an API endpoint and not add it to the spec. This is a documentation/code synchronization problem that i

I think you missed the point. To "rank the results by parking availability" you need the results. Currently these are behind paid API keys or frontends with ads. Why would booking.com allow you to download their entire set of resu

> You could do that. But then you need to explain to the LLM how to do the work every time you want to use that tool This reeks of a fundamental misunderstanding of computers and LLMs. We have a way to get a description of APIs over http

That doesn't sound like the case for MCP though. It sounds like when implementing an MCP server there is a difference between the three transport methods that requires different code on the server. This is a problem solved by other pro

This just furthers my theory that people pushing for MCP don't understand how networking and protocols work. stdio is a file that your computer can write to and read from HTTP is a protocol typically used over TCP websockets is a proto

REST is a protocol that uses HTTP and a JSON schema. I fail to see how they're different, they're both "these are the remote procedures you can call on me, and the required parameters, maybe some metadata of the function&#x2F

Not only extends them, but compounds them because you have a non-deterministic human making changes to a non-deterministic computer system which is making changes to an existing computer system.
