  14. "[T]he vast majority of MCP servers are a waste of time. And that’s normal because the MCP spec is only months old. People jump into it, and they start building for MCP without really thinking it through or understanding what it should be.

    The vast majority of MCPs that you can see now are reflections of APIs. I think that’s a complete waste of time. This might be offensive, but let’s take Kubernetes. As an example, Kubernetes is an API-driven platform of sorts. Now let’s say you have a Kubernetes MCP server that basically allows you to get resources, to describe resources, and to see the logs and so on and so forth. They’re basically reflections of the Kubernetes API, just as kubectl is a reflection of the Kubernetes API.

    Now, does an AI agent really need that MCP server? Absolutely not. It’s perfectly capable of using kubectl directly. And even if there weren’t a kubectl CLI, it’s perfectly capable of talking to the API as is. And it’s not hard for an AI backed by an agent to execute the URL commands to go to some API, and effectively do the same thing that that MCP server is doing.

    What we need is MCPs that are actually providing additional value around user intents. Instead of having a Kubernetes MCP server that is a reflection of its API, have a Kubernetes MCP that will have certain logic or workflow or this or that, that will help you combine resources to get an application up and running. So, something beyond just a one-to-one reflection of an API."

  18. "The core problem is that when people hear a new term they don’t spend any effort at all seeking for the original definition... they take a guess. If there’s an obvious (to them) definiton for the term they’ll jump straight to that and assume that’s what it means.

    I thought prompt injection would be obvious—it’s named after SQL injection because it’s the same root problem, concatenating strings together.

    It turns out not everyone is familiar with SQL injection, and so the obvious meaning to them was “when you inject a bad prompt into a chatbot”.

    That’s not prompt injection, that’s jailbreaking. I wrote a post outlining the differences between the two. Nobody read that either.

    The lethal trifecta Access to Private Data Ability to Externally Communicate Exposure to Untrusted Content

    I should have learned not to bother trying to coin new terms.

    ... but I didn’t learn that lesson, so I’m trying again. This time I’ve coined the term the lethal trifecta.

    I’m hoping this one will work better because it doesn’t have an obvious definition! If you hear this the unanswered question is “OK, but what are the three things?”—I’m hoping this will inspire people to run a search and find my description.""

    email says it takes roughly 5 working days for the application to be processed, but I'm currently at 12 working days and still waiting.

    How long did it take for your application to go through until you got your welcome email with logon details?

Here's a quick update on the construction of the new Woodward High School on Old Georgetown Road in #BethesdaMD, or #NorthBethesda, or #RockvilleMD (I don't even know what to call the place anymore, should I throw in White Flint and the Pike District just to be safe?) #MoCo #MoCoMD #MCPS blog.pagebypagebooks.com/2023/

  31. CW: Plane crash!

    @mergerson About 90-100k without power per #Pepco. And they still haven’t de-energized the lines to get occupants safely down. #MCPS is saying they will assess situation but right now have 40 schools and a number of facilities without power. I’m g’burg our lights have flickered a few times. I won’t be surprised if we lose power at some point overnight. #MontgomeryCountyMD
