IMO this relates to who the end consumer of websites ends up being. All the arguments for just using MCP ignore the reasoning that agents need based on contextual clues (e.g. if you're booking seats at a movie theaters, you'd want to choose based on personal preferences and taking the movie itself into account) and treat the website itself as the first class product.

Developing MCPs only works if the capabilities for the site don't involve any iterative reasoning and acting for the user, which things like travel and dining do :p

> The residents group even stopped a comically ugly post-war Tesco from being demolished, pressuring Westminster City Council to designate the Dean Street store an ‘Asset of Community Value’.

Seems like there's a conflict here between the interests of the residents and the general public. I can't imagine eating out every night is something affordable or desirable for the locals.

It's interesting comparing these against the archetypes in TV Tropes, the language seems to focus on motivations of characters rather than the environment and context.

I go on Quora. I don't really like their digest emails or any of their recent monetization efforts but it's still unparalleled in free high quality writing, especially if you follow the right people. It remains one of the best places to find interesting stories and explanations, and also for exposure to a wide range of human experiences.

I agree with your sentiment but oftentimes small interventions are the only kind possible. And I wouldn't say that something like a pollinator strip is ineffective -- bees and other pollinators are losing habitat, pollinator strips restore them. It may only be one dimension of wildlife but it's a critical one.
