The State of #MCP report from @zuplo.com has some good nuggets...
• 72% of adopters expect MCP usage to increase
• 40% expect it to account for a quarter to half of their AI tool usage
• 70% of devs have 2-7 MCP servers configured, often for context engineering use cases

In the 01970s environmental activist Peter Berg said the phrase “one world” was a “bullshit transnational fuckup” that put us on a path to abstraction and lack of accountability. Instead, we needed planetary framing.
But why is the phrase “one planet” or “whole Earth” so transformative?

I've been thinking a lot about what I like to call "Consumer-focused API Design."
It all starts with a user story, right? From there, you get three ramifications.

We're all drinking from an information firehose, because sending messages via computer is frictionless.
But I believe we should be able to apply social media-style algorithms to help!

My new research project asks whether a personal algorithm, inspired by social media, can help us filter our email, group chats, and other personal correspondence.

Two prominent people in tech I know very very well (and know to be brilliant) have come up with polar opposite views on AI. One is all, “It’s powerful and interesting and the negatives are over-stated”. Another says it’s ruining the world, won’t work and will trigger the collapse of the economy.
