"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Perhaps you didn't notice the forum you're posting in. We're not here because we love hearing slopaganda.
Personally I believe MCP is the new AMP, and I look forward to dancing on its grave.
Care to elaborate? MCP is a fairly basic concept and just a specific type of a web server, so its not exactly going to go anywhere anytime soon, since you are literally posting on a forum right now that uses the same tech, lol
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.
What part of that did you not understand.
If you think MCP servers benefit "Big Tech megacorps and nobody else" then all I can conclude is you are technically behind enough you dont even know how to use docker and therefore your argument is coming from a place of naivety
MCP servers are incredibly simple and easy to self host, and a few self hostable models are competent now at invoking them.
Tonnes of FOSS self hostable software supports wiring it up as well.
Which means anyone can leverage MCP servers to enable LLMs to do whatever you want.
I would compare it to advancements in stuff like Zigbee for IOT devices, its a simple lightweight spec thats small enough you can even put it on an ESP32 with ease.
And if you dont see how there's a lot of power in that for private self hosted users, then you arent using your imagination enough.
Your attitude towards me and other people in this thread is incredibly distasteful. I know exactly what Docker is. I also know that MCP servers are irrelevant unless we're talking about LLM agents, a technology funded by Big Tech which is dangerous & destructive (hence the forum you are currently posting in).
This conversation is now over. 👋
If you knpw how to use docker and claim that agents are only funded by large corps, then you must really be living under a rock and/or dont know how to google.
Theres tonnes of grassroots agentic FOSS platforms available and self hostable models people all over the world have built to run on them.
Your either extremely out of touch or purposefully spreading disinformation if you think MCP backed agentic options are limited only to "bog tech corporations".
Go... google it? I dunno, theres tonnes of options out there now, you are talking like its still 2024, shit has moved way past beyond that now...
