This has been hashed to death and back. The mcp allows a separation between the agent and the world, at its most basic not giving the agent your token or changing a http header , forcing a parameter.

Well yes you don’t need those things all the time and who knows if the inventor of mcp had this idea in mind but here we are

What do you mean ? Cause the obvious thing is a shared cache and if there is one thing the writers of a db know it is locking

When the leading 5 models are from the US then yes enforced safety makes a difference because they are ahead of the curve. Now when the 10th model can be a danger then your case is true.

What would safety applied to the leading 3 mean to you anyways ?

Why is the bar replacing a receptionist ? At the low end It will take over tasks and companies will need less people, at the top end it will take over roles. What’s the point you are making, if it can’t do bla now it never will ?

> You can improve it to be a little less susceptible to injection attacks

That’s exactly the point the rapid rate of improvement is far form slow polish in 10 years it will be everywhere doing everything

1 you are massively assuming less than linear improvement, even linear over 5 years puts LLM in different category

2 more efficient means need less people means redundancy means cycle of low demand

We don’t lack the technology to limit scrapers, sure it’s an arms race with AI companies with more money than most. Why can’t this be a legal block through TOS

How is the publisher supposed to fund their operations let along make a profit. How about a 1 year lock on the archive pages. There are many ways of keeping that record but not taking views undermining the business model

How will these investors get their money. The AI companies either have a competitor invent AGI which means all other AI companies are worth nothing or they themselves invent AGI in which case a whole bunch of companies go broke including the investors themselves.

This money isn’t never going to be returned

Correct me if I’m wrong aren’t they the innovators of multiple things like skills sub agents mcp and whatever this memory thing is agents files

Seriously they are the apple iPhone or AWS of LLM a decade or so ago.
