I just planned a holiday with MCP servers. It was legitimately massively better than calculating everything manually, and I'm normally OK planning holidays, but this assistance just helped me do everything to a much higher quality.

If too many bots are hitting your website, then shut it down and open an MCP server. I had to use an obscure Japanese service to get the coverage I needed.
This is a massive opportunity.

In other areas, all of the hobby websites I've used for decades are closing public access and going subscription only. This is incredibly frustrating. Before we only had sites like Facebook and Myspace being anti social. Now it's justifiable to wall off any site!

So what I'm having to do is to
    pay for a subscription, manually scrape to break the data silo to get the data back in my hand because
interoperability is breaking down everywhere!

Some LLMs give special access to sites in their corporation, so I have to use those particular LLMs to get info I'm interested in. An example of this are the Alibaba sites. That is also really annoying.

As if all this wasn't enough, I also have to deal with Geoblocking from hyperscalers here in Asia.

There are walls going up absolutely everywhere these days. It's a scale of destruction of the open web we haven't seen in a long time.

My guess is that something programmatic will come out of this eventually, but until then there's going to be a lot of meatproxy work going on and flying 'You bot!' insults everywhere, bans etc.

What surprises me is that everyone is so busy blocking they can't see the financial opportunity.
Also, I would have expected people to discuss how they're getting around bot blocks through human assisted browsing. Quite the attention tax.

What exactly are oyu supposed to do about it?

If the answer is _nothing_. Is it better not to know?

Just simply banning doesn't really show much understanding into what it's like to be a kid.
I was talking to a young fellow about the Roblox chat control. He told me he lost touch with many friends.
It's their life.
So it needs the other end of this to connect up as well.
A stick without the carrot isn't going to work as well as having both.

This is only a very small beta test, only involving a smaller rival.

How can we stop people from getting a bot to do something and then hiding away?

According to reddit, users are approaching this by:

1) researching fake ID

2) https://github.com/stoatchat

3) Matrix / Element

4) Mumble

5) Some going to Slack, apparently

One country's corruption is another one's opportunity.

Ryanair is a meme for this. They also want to make people stand while flying and charge for toilet access. They are hated for leading the charge in enshittification. This latest stunt could be part of their marketing strategy.

Just to let you know:

- Sulforaphane helps get it out of the cell
- NAC helps it out of the blood
- a water filter and boiling helps get it out of drinking water
- a pm2.5 filter on an old fan helps prevent it being breathed in during sleep

These are the main things.
Hope this helps.

Next,
wouldn't it be nice to help poor people in Bali with a place to use that plastic decomposing bacteria instead of having to dump it all in the river?

Loops the crawler in a circle.

Or are the drivers already backed up to 3rd party sites?

If it had technical details of how the recovery was done, that might have been more interesting

more clearly.

Let me give mundane examples from my life.

I'm a teacher.
My mind is already starting to compare the children I teach to agentic interactions when I see them talk to each other:

"Meme memey"
"Oh yes, meme -meme-meme" says another.

Likewise, when you can switch an AI, can you switch off a human just the same if you think they're the same?

What is unique about being human left?
AI could do boring work for us, yet it went straight for the _soulful_ stuff first: music, art. What is it with that?
Nick Cave called it a soul eater.

This is more in the realm of what the Pope could be talking about. The industrial revolution pushed people in England to the USA... all around the world trying to escape poverty. But is that really the comparison? The AGRICULTURAL revolution left only 10% of males on the planet standing after all the fighting. So is AI closer to the Industrial Revolution or the Agricultural?

More practical discussions could also be about overuse and its mental implications, comparing to Google Maps and our ability to navigate, but that wouldn't have been what I would have expected the Pope to talk about. He could have gone all Uncle Unibomber on us and said something about the tree of life rebalancing the tree of knowledge of something. Perhaps his audience is seen as particularly ignorant such that such topics can't really be talked about without dumbing down and vague comments?

Too often genetics and a hand wave away.
But genetics doesn't operate in a vacuum, always interacting with the environment.
It's just a matter of scale and perspective.

DOGE. Can't remember the name of the parent fund. I don't believe it's all the funding, but could be enough to tank it?
