  • Sorry, are you talking about MCP, or AP? I don’t know why any usage of PieFed (what I’m using) or Lemmy would require MCP.

    MCP as a way to make agents appear smart is a smoke screen. We already have APIs to enable different online applications to talk to each other, it’s called REST, or Hypermedia if you want to get real fancy. We don’t need yet another layer on top that obscures web properties and places them behind chatbots benefiting Big Tech megacorps and nobody else.









  • And sometimes the car accident is caused by terrible infrastructure because the system is rigged in favor of automobile lobbyists (here in the U.S. anyway).

    So yes, I agree with you to a point. But the phrase “choosing to bathe in AI slop” to me doesn’t mean someone who’s popped onto ChatGPT from time to time to search for an answer for something or whatever. It means people who literally have formed their identity around an embrace of the slop machines. At this point, with all of the harms clearly on display for all to see, doing so indicates a severe lack of character and a sort of sociopathy.
