This was also a thing in the 90s and possibly early 00s, I remember my PC had a bunch of logos and crap written all over it.

Minimalism didn’t really take off until Apple made it fashionable.

A rational take, prepare to get downvoted to oblivion!

Also ignoring the fact that without AI many of these offerings would be pricier, lower quality, or just nonexistent.

The usual counterargument is “well I would gladly pay more for man-made art!” which is a fair personal preference, but judging by the market most people clearly disagree, and businesses aren't obligated to cater to your niche.

To say that we must have people that know how to X, because otherwise no one will be able to teach how to X, is kind of circular reasoning. Why is X important to begin with? What’s its inherent value to society?

If knowing the answer is not valuable then asking the question wasn’t valuable to begin with.

We should remember that math exists primarily to serve a purpose and that purpose is not being a fun puzzle hobby for a select few mathematicians.

Imagine a programmer telling their boss it’s not about working software it’s about the journey of writing the code. Good luck getting hired.

I think if pro mathematicians don’t change their tune quickly they will soon see their funding approach zero.

It’s interesting how all of these problems are due to misaligned incentives.

Unpopular opinion: cities should be private, for-profit corporations. Leasing land from the government and charging subscription fees. Like a very big hotel.

I think it’s been like 20 years since I had to use a truly public toilet.

Is this really such a common occurrence for people? Because I feel like toilets are being discussed way too much.

The thing that mostly makes MCP more token efficient is that its methods usually have good documentation/examples and smaller surface area, so it’s easier for the agent to navigate. But this can (and should) also be applied to the API itself...

The other thing is discoverability, but I’m not sure a simple web search would be significantly less efficient.

For web services, what is the point of MCP or even a skill when modern agents can just find API docs on their own and use it?

I think in this day and age agents no longer need official 3P integrations, they can just use whatever API is already available (and in some cases even the UI).

Doesn’t this suggest that the results seen in the OP are merely copying strategies it has seen in other bots (code in the training data), and not actually the agent developing its strategy?

What if we let the agents play directly instead of writing bots?

Love seeing Blood mentioned, sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who played it

>we won't know what the next question should be

What if AI knows better than us?
