MCP: The new "USB-C for AI" that's bringing fierce rivals together

I think of MCP as a way to constrain the AI down a happy path because currently, LLM's can't follow that happy path on their own.

MCP won't be needed once LLM's can be trusted with root and a Unix Shell.

Granting LLMs root access might be the critical error that leads to 'Judgement Day'; I can picture future survivors realising this when they figure out how the machines launched the nukes.

It's almost guaranteed people have already given AI root

I have a few times. Even had a local llm attacking student VMs in a cyber comp I put on. it was rather good at hacking students using kali's built in tools.

so basically never

that's the same as giving autonomous drones the trigger

never mind the delusional dreams of some ignorant people that "code" is a means to an end rather than a deliberate act by humans arguing from their bureaucratic positions

these ignorant people will be steamrolled

Never ever will I give an AI root shell...
