That's not how namespacing works though, is it? Getting UUID 'A' from app 'X' is easily distinguishable from UUID 'A' from app 'Y'.

You're glossing over the fact that they assumed youtube would want to assign a UUID to each pixel in a 4k@60fps video as the use case that this would fail for...

I don't think they're discounting that distrust can be legitimate, they're questioning whether it's useful to distrust somebody when it's not your job to micromanage them or they'r…

Going a step further, I live in a reality where you can train most people against phishing attacks like that. How accurate is the comparison if LLMs can't recover from phishing att…

Are you not worried that anthropomorphizing them will lead to misinterpreting the failure modes by attributing them to human characteristics, when the failures might not be caused …

I don't understand your logic. Should security reports never be published that say "hash the password before storing it in the DB". Boring research is boring most of the time, that…

One of the things I'm not looking forward to with people "just throwing it through an LLM for a final pass" is the loss of individual voice. Everything is starting to sound the sam…

So the name being wrong means the department should be gutted? Overly-serious naming is hardly a reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

What "intended uses" are there for it other than being an unregulated options market with constant scams and a "code is law" tool? I would imagine any other legitimate use would be…

If you're authenticating the exact same way you would to an HTTP api(put an API key in the config), why does MCP need to exist instead of just plugging in the API key + link to ope…

MCP is not self describing by default either. I can implement a tool and not add it to the definitions, much like you can implement an API endpoint and not add it to the spec. This…
