If context is the bottleneck, MCP is dead.

MCP can use 10k tokens. Everything good happens in the first 100k tokens.

It's more context efficient to code a custom binary and prompt the LLM how to use the binary when needed.

Here's a non-profit to save the world we started. Everyone just needs to buy XRP, and the world will be saved, isn't that amazing? "

It's still poison. Check msds. Just because there is already poison in the air, doesn't mean people can't put more poison in the air. Just because the poison doesn't kill everyone, doesn't mean it isn't poison.

Morality has nothing to do with it. There can't possibly be a control variable. Would you call someone who goes around smashing things a "scientist"? What is the experiment?

It's wasn't a test. Someone just poisoned all the air.

It's not a test to say "hey I'm going to poison all the air, let's see what happens".

We shouldn't call this a "test" as if it was conducted by actual scientists doing actual experiments.
