Model Context Protocol: A Web 2.0 Revival?

2025-05-23

Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP) allows large language models (LLMs) to interact with various applications. OpenAI's adoption in ChatGPT spurred widespread use, even extending to Windows. While MCP's specification is somewhat vague, its openness and rapid adoption have sparked renewed interest in the spirit of Web 2.0. True Web 2.0 wasn't about closed platforms like Facebook, but rather about open APIs and collaborative development seen in sites like Flickr and Delicious. MCP's rise could inspire developers to prioritize openness, making platforms more programmable and less controlled by a few giants. However, challenges remain, including security risks.

AI-First? Tech CEOs' Groupthink and the Illusion of Productivity

2025-04-30

A recent trend among tech CEOs is the demand for an "AI-first" approach to work, mandating the use of AI tools across the board. The author challenges this, arguing that forcing AI adoption on employees already proficient in their tasks may hinder productivity. Using personal anecdotes, the author illustrates how AI is best suited to assist those lacking specific skills, not replace experts. The author suggests this "AI-first" push is more of a performative act among tech leaders, a way to signal belonging to a particular group, rather than a genuine productivity enhancer. A more effective approach, argues the author, would involve employee choice and a focus on the actual utility of AI tools.
