If that's the only way you pay your bills then this article is not asking you to give away your software for free. It is for second jobbers.

I see remote MCP servers as a great interface to consume api responses. The idea that you essentially make your apis easily available to agents to bring in relevant context is a powerful one.

When folks say MCP is dead, I don't get it. What other alternatives exist in place of MCP? Arbitrary code via curl/sdks to call a remote endpoint?

I am sure they do. This is a talk they gave on using AI to tackle security problems. https://youtu.be/JRvQGRqMazA?si=euwRGML-unsm59ZU

It is also one of the big reasons why Meta and Zuckerberg want to invest in AI. If AI companions are going to replace online friends, it makes total sense for Meta to invest in AI heavily.

This is a good rule of thumb, but what would be a good response to have interfaces because, "what if a new scenario comes up in the future"?

Extend this and you get benefits of capitalism vs downsides of unchecked capitalism.

Really happy to see this as a history buff and someone who hails from the backyard of the erstwhile Vijayanagara empire.

New comment by abhis3798 in "How to Lose $3B of Bitcoin in India"

So the general belief is that "black money" is always stashed as hard cash. Specifically in higher denominations of 500 and 1000 ruppees. To uphold the poll promise of putting an end to black money, Modi came up with this plan to ban these denominations.

It was utter chaos when this happened. People literally queued up at ATMs for hours and most ATMs would be out of cash. PayTM, now an household name in India for online wallet, turned out to be the biggest beneficiary from the whole fiasco. Black money however lives on.
