Perhaps you fail to see how this would probably lead to textbooks costing even more and which will be directly passed to students as higher tuition?

You don't need to read this to know it's wrong. Ted Chiang hasn't solved the hard problem so he can't say that anything is conscious or not. I'm a big fan of his sci-fi but his bold pronouncements about AI are prett

MCP will die for the same reason RAG died and why prompt engineering is dying. The models get better at understanding what you want and where to find the right tool or context to solve the problem on their own.

Long-term planning, context poisoning, task length reliability, etc. Improving all the time but certainly still constraints.

Yeah I have no idea whats up with their pricing. My main point was that $99 jeans is not some insane luxury only a select few can afford.

Yeah I get that but it's not as though we're on a forum for foodstamps recipients. The median income on HN is no doubt top 10% in the nation and often far higher. Talking about $99 jeans as some great luxury is literally from a di
