I think you'd be very surprised to learn that in a lot of cases, tipping pays much better than whatever a "reasonable" hourly wage for taking an order and carrying food to a table would be. If you're serving three tables

OK, guess I missed that one. Score a point for mean ol' Trump I guess. But, you're ignoring that it's also not exactly a blanket ban on travel from the DRC, just "within the last 21 days", which... does that make a

Just because a MCP server offers 100 MCP tools doesn't mean that they all have to be in your context. Any decent harness will let you filter out ones you don't want. And to take that concept further you really should be designing

Which will just increase the cries of "enshittification" and hasten the mass migration to the next free platform that surely, this time, won't ever go down.

They've also been making it so the preference seemingly doesn't stick now. Used to be it would just randomly undo that setting, now it just doesn't respect it at all in my experience.

I think the term "rare" might be a bit loaded. DOES it mean "only a handful in existence" or more like "1000 copies?" And at any rate, at least by scanning the book they're theoretically making its content

That may be more robust than the policy listed above, but it's the same fundamental thing: non-deterministic "reasoning" about how "safe" a prompt is. It's never foolproof and the input space to reason over is
