IBM pivoting to Ai, must be getting close to the top now.
Actually already peaked.

#22If only IBM supported something more structured and sensible than the mess that is MCP: https://github.com/universal-tool-calling-protocol
These words and that brand name don't go together here

#23Whats hilarious about this whole AI hype is that probably a million people are building the exact same software at the moment.

Isn't that beautiful. True competition. Shouldn't that be how the world works, businesses too? Lots of people, trying their best to build things, and some will share ideas, some with have their own unique points.
Or do we just want CorporateSoftTM to build and own everything in just one big single commercial platform?
I would love it if loads more businesses could start up.

More like a severe lack of communication and visiblity leading to vastly inefficient work duplication.
Re: MCP Gateway and Registry
#26Looks similar to MetaMCP https://github.com/metatool-ai/metamcp
Not sure which of these tools is currently the best but they are clearly needed.
I am testing MetaMCP to expose internal MCP servers to the cloud version of Claude, enabling me to use Home Assistant and some other internal services in verbal conversations with Claude app on the phone.
I think 3rd party MCP server use is available in other AI assistants as well but Claude is the only one who allows using them in Europe.
I can only wish that this would become a standard approach with any AI assistants, including the built in phone assistants like Siri, but Apple is so so far behind and always trying to squeeze every bit of money wherever they can, I doubt they will ever do that.
This approach enables better integrations with local services specific to different regions, and I would somewhat compare this to RSS feeds which were popular 15 years ago. Would be nice if most e-commerce sites would provide their own MCP servers for managing carts, placing and tracking orders, etc. I don't want to see a world where single monopoly grabs this market and makes things shit again (like it happened with social media), especially for those who live outside of USA.

I don't think an efficient marketplace is really a world anyone wants to live in. No one would have a job, purpose, creativity, anything really. What's the purpose if everything is efficent.

No, dozens of companies burning money to reinvent the same thing, and the best product rarely wins anyway. You get locked into inferior systems just because they had better timing or marketing.
The romantic startup vision sounds nice, but most of those businesses would just fail after wasting capital and talent that could've been used better elsewhere. It's messy and inefficient.

It's gonna get acquired anyways... what do you think the endgame of 99% of startups is? Building a company?

As long as everyone builds out in the open so people can share ideas, I think it's going to be a net positive.

Maybe romantic, that's fair. But I think a world with lots of different choices and options is far better, than one with a single few efficient/optimal solutions.
Burning money to reinvent things is fine with me if it trains people up, pays people a salary, creates some original ideas, leads to more choice in the market.
