I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

No one’s built an agent that works yet, Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott tells me. But things like MCP are maybe the beginnings of how they’ll get built - if anyone can figure out the business models www.theverge.com/decoder-podc...
The other parallel is Alexa Plus, which I joked earlier has launched to some people, but no one knows who they are. Google has some agentic ideas. There’s computer use from Anthropic, OpenAI. None of it’s worked yet. Have you seen anything that says this is definitely going to work?

I get the... No. So yeah, to answer your question very specifically, outside of software engineering and outside of demos, I haven’t concretely seen the thing that works, and I’ll just sort of ground it even more. So if I look at my everyday life, and I’m sort of looking at how I use these things, outside of software development, there’s just not an awful lot that I’m choosing, that Kevin Scott is choosing, to go delegate a bunch of stuff to this agent to do on my behalf. But I can kind of smell it with MCP, and I do think it actually has to be open. I think it’s kind of hard to do this in a vertically integrated way.

Even independent of this development, the GOP has incontestably become the party of pimps, thieves and rapists. It's a new way in which they think they project strength. All of it is premised on "I'm going to do it, anyway" where the victims are either invisible or political adversaries.
