The introduction of AI overviews into Google search will cost quite a lot in compute/other resources, despite heavy caching, therefore this might be a significant bet in terms of costs vs profit for Google. What does Google expect from this feature in terms of business results? This seems to be quite a big bet, but what is actually at stake - in real terms?

Come to think of it: is there now a showdown between Google and Microsoft/OpenAI, where collateral costs are no longer taken into account?

I had similar thoughts, but it would probably not make a difference, at this stage. What is there stays there - either online, as in the case of HN, or as part of some collected dataset.

In hindsight: the world changed in so many ways, from the world I knew some twenty years ago, and I am not even talking about politics or technology: the attitudes and perception of people seems to have changed in many ways. Back then I thought it would be of benefit to be open and upfront about things. Now that is no longer a common perception.

Enough said.

It starts a whole lot of SQL queries that find and aggregate data & statistics

It must have a very interesting and well written system prompt for this type of questions.

(gives me second thoughts about my personal approach to privacy)

Following the suspension of the treaty, India significantly reduced the flow of water through the Chenab River, which crosses into Pakistan. Pakistani authorities claimed a 90% drop in water supply and accused India of choking the river’s flow. India also initiated new hydroelectric projects and began constructing dams on the western rivers, actions previously constrained under the treaty.[125][126][127]

Pakistan has reportedly warned that any attempt by India to disrupt the flow of water from shared rivers could be considered an act of war, and would attack India with nuclear weapons.[128]

Wasn't there something in the intro of "Mad Max fury road" about water wars?

The implementation: https://github.com/luigiajah/mcp-stocks/blob/main/main.py

Each MCP endpoint comes with a detailed comment - that comment will be part of the metadata published by the MCP server / extension. The LLM reads this instruction when the MCP extension is added by the end user, so it will know how to call it.

The main difference between REST an MCP is that MCP can maintain state for the current session (that's an option), while REST is supposed to be inherently stateless.

I think most of the other protocols are a variation of MCP.

Let's suppose these policies are to the benefit of some Americans over other the benefit of other Americans. The open question now is: does it matter? does it really have an influence on the gross profit numbers? Will an isolationist foreign policy destroy the international order and how could this effect the US in return?
