I was going to say something snide about how MCP is a laughably thin standard; but 'agents.md' is literally just a text file(encoding unspecified; I guess UTF8 but nobody actually says) that you put text in and hope your bot will react appropriately to. It describes the contents as 'standard markdown'; without mention of which markdown variant they mean.

Given that the whole thing is just an exercise in getting away with bots being more or less as OK-ish with poorly structured inputs as they are with anything else it's not like it would be a better 'standard' if there were a thicket of XML schema involved; but saying:

:"AGENTS.md emerged from collaborative efforts across the AI software development ecosystem, including OpenAI Codex, Amp, Jules from Google, Cursor, and Factory.

We’re committed to helping maintain and evolve this as an open format that benefits the entire developer community, regardless of which coding agent you use."

About a 'standard' which is 'put some kind of markdown, y'know, stuff you'd tell someone about your project in a text file called Agents.md' is a little grandiose.

If you wouldn't allow children to play in waste effluent from a 1960s nuclear power plant

It was good enough for us!

Forget the kids, they don't vote so they can be safely trod upon. Who cares what their experiences are.

But seriously, what about the not-kids? Australian adults, are you having to show your ID when you get a DHCP lease? Do a lot of websites who didn't have mandatory logins, now have 'em?

How does it work, and what has changed for you?

Europe is now eyeing similar bans, as well as proposals for a late-night "curfew", curbs on addictive features, and an EU-wide age verification app.

LATE-NIGHT CURFEW?!

If Europe isn't careful, they're going to teach a generation of kids that it's ok to do their FTPing during business hours.

I'm sure someone already committed multiple felonies would be deterred by that possibility.

Or in this case, eliminating eating food, period.

Yes.". It is increasingly apparent that is exactly the goal.

Soldiers who take their oaths seriously, and remember their (mandatory, annual) training on disobeying illegal orders.

Given the boom and bust cycle of fads like this, you also might not want to best they will, since they would then be stuck with some very expensive printing capacity they have no use for, but have to pay for anyway.

It's a delicate business, and their obligation is shareholder value.

Bayer/Monsanto is constantly being sued. Litigation is part of their budget.

I hate to break it to you, but she ain't real. You can go generate your own on Sora or whatever they're using to create these fake models.
I was considering getting those cat tights for my GF, but I realized they probably don't look as advertised, because AI, and crocheted tights would get caught on everything and probably would not be worn outside of the house. Then I realized I don't know if my GF is a human. She could be an AI generated hallucination.

This works well-ish on Nintendo Switch. I have access to almost all of the Nintendo titles from the old days, plus a lot of independent games that are retro-style.
I pay for a few months of subscription here and there, not all the time since I don't play games all the time.
All of the past titles should be playable on new consoles, since it should be bytecode compatible. I don't see the problem with a subscription service where you can play any and all titles whenever you want.
Playstation screwed up entirely by cutting off PS1,PS2 titles on the PS3 due to incompatible media or whatever. I don't know if those older titles would be bytecode compatible even if you could load the discs. That may have hurt PS3 adoption a little bit, but in the long run it really didn't make that much of a dent.

yeah I wouldn't say they're shit at hardware. They just don't do as well as Apple, Sony, Nintendo, ..

What does it mean to be "susceptible to marketing?"

It's kind of great actually, it makes it easier for my CEO to generate code and tell me to integrate it into our product. AI in Slack si the feature I've been waiting for all my career.
