You have to balance that with teaching the skills needed to understand the domain sufficiently to take over when the model gets things wrong.

Yes, good management is rare. I believe companies where ICs understand how their role ties into the overall success of the company will outperform other companies on average.

I’m not saying you can’t argue for more cooperative systems. I’m saying you better be prepared to explain why your proposed system will work better than Soviet and Chinese communist systems when asked if you want to be taken seriously.

Their Communist system failed. They experienced increasing prosperity when they adopted capitalism.

But the modern supermarket also has many large hierarchical organizations contributing well, from the supermarket chains to industrial farms to giant processed food brands. For better or worse.

Well that’s simply a question of whether we are at a point yet where we can implement UBI and provide for everyone’s needs and wants without requiring anyone to work. I don’t think the robots are at that point yet.

There is if you start one yourself.

The only mechanism like that I’m aware of is the market, but a large organization shields smaller teams and individuals from being measured by it.

Also an unwillingness to examine their own irrational biases, seeing them only in other people.

You would need an explanation for how every single culture in human history conditions people in this way, if it’s not connected to human nature.

It certainly has to be considered. China and the Soviet Union are the largest scale attempts to implement a cooperative system and they failed in spectacular and tragic ways. So you certainly need to consider why the new plan will be diffe

Yeah a lot of management isn’t just a desire for power and control over others, but just the unglamorous and boring work of tracking what everyone is working on and how it fits into the bigger picture. In large organizations it becomes har

Probably need to motivate people to vote in local elections before you can convince them to risk their lives in a bloody struggle.

Like hiring a personal trainer to yell at you to do 5 more pushups or whatever. Closest thing I can come up with of one party having the authority of paying another party to act as if they were in a position of authority over tre first part

Go idea. We will call this new MCP “bash”. It will allow you to stream the output of one command to the input of another incrementally as the data is generated.

This is the first sensible thing I’ve read in defense of MCP. However, wouldn’t a shell where all permissions are off by default, then you can enable read and write privileges to certain files and directories and executable privileges to ce

What about the demands on the time of professors from students who repeatedly try and fail the exams? Seems like that could get expensive for taxpayers. Maybe it doesn’t happen much in practice?

Unless it’s on cable.

by jimbokun 5mo ago
So the permissions model h is a the main advantage MCP has over CLIs?

by jimbokun 5mo ago
Then give the CLI a man page.

OpenAI should hire you.

Unless you also want humans to also interact with your tools. That’s covered in the article: a human can modify the commands generated by the agent, or vice versa, to debug problems or transfer knowledge.

You failed to describe what value the MCP protocol provides. If all of these companies spent equivalent time writing a CLI for agents to consume as they spend on MCP servers, would they be any worse off in terms of agents being able to inte

Or maybe they’re just poor.

That is a vanishingly small portion of undergraduates.

Which is why you need the financial freedom to spend time figuring it out.

No, they stopped talking to family, friends and colleagues because they got addicted to social media algorithms.
