Sorry it wasn't entirely clear that I was by no means saying the web in its current form is anything close to what it could/should be. My main point was that, by making backdoors for MCPs there will be a new possible entry point for bad actors by exploiting said backdoor. As for the optimisation to _waste human life_ I do agree but the reality is that the sites which waste the majority of human life/time are the ones which would not be automated by the MCP and would, ultimately, see more 'real' usage by virtue of the fact that your average human will have more time to mindlessly scroll their favourite echo-chamber. Then we have the whole other debate of whether we really believe that the VC funders whom are largely responsible for the current state of the web will continue pumping money into something which would hurt their bottom line from another angle? |

No, I don't believe that at all - which is why I keep saying the current situation is an anomaly, a brief moment in time. LLMs deployed in form of general-purpose chatbots/agents are giving too much power to the people, which is already becoming disruptive to many businesses, so that power will be gradually taken away. Expect less general-purpose AI agents, and more "AI powered features" that shackle LLMs behind some limited UI, to ensure you can only get as much benefit from AI as it fits the vendors' business strategies.
