This week’s edition of my @linkedin newsletter shines a light on the impact of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) across multiple computing eras—leading right up to today.
We’ve arrived at a moment where loose coupling principles are cool (and super useful) again.
Naturally, there are some live demo nuggets in the post to help bring it all to life:

A quick preview of the Quarkus MCP CLI Adapter.
This is a demo on a feature that has just been merged on Quarkus MCP Server project.

OK fine, maybe Generative AI does have some good uses.

#Trump and #Musk and AI, oh my?
From my favorite historian pundit, Z:
… no serious economist is going to endorse [Trump's] approach to tariffs. No unserious one, either, probably. So, where did the White House come up with this formula? Well, if you put the phrase "balance bilateral trade deficits" into AI engines, the administration's approach (or some close approximation) is what you get. That is the case with ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Claude. If you put the phrase into Grok, you get the EXACT formula the White House used. In other news, Grok is the AI platform owned by... Elon Musk.
Guess you don't need the terminator to destroy the world. Simple AI is enough.
Scroll down to "Fuzzy Math" at this link, but the whole 4,000 word article will clear up the whole muddy mess.

**#Scraping of #LLM ’s explained:**
* take a company that lives off of answering people’s questions, e.g. WikiHow
* take all WikiHow’s guides and turn them into an answerbot.
* make money by providing the answers to WikiHow users with your chatbot
* claim that you are not a competitor to WikiHow, and your use of their entire content library is #FairUse
* repeat with the entire internet
#PSA: You can turn off Google search AI overview bullshit!
Instructions here (it works, I haven't had to see the bullshit in the months since I did it):

In questo test, in una SERP di #Google in cui compare #AI Overviews, ho preso i contenuti nelle prime 12 posizioni e ho creato un piccolo #RAG usando #LangChain, #Chroma DB e #GPT4o.
Inviandolo la query al RAG, ottengo una risposta simile a quella proposta da AI Overviews.
Chiaramente Google usa anche query correlate ("fan-out") e il Knowledge Graph per espandere i risultati.
So the rumour is that Trump et al used ChatGPT (or Grok!) to calculate the tariffs. See the screenshot from a FB anti AI group. I dont know if this is true.

The Slow Collapse of #CriticalThinking in OSINT due to #AI
#OSINT used to be a thinking game. Now it’s becoming a trusting game & that should terrify you.
…analysts running solid investigations, then slowly shifting more & more of the thinking to #GenAI tools …You use #ChatGPT to summarise a document or #translate a foreign post. Then it’s helping draft your reports. Then it’s generating leads. And eventually, you’re not thinking as critically as you used to.
