it's adapting the world (well, internet) to suit the model rather than the other way around -- to the point where there is a growing amount of content on the internet designed exclusively for machine consumption at the expense of direct human consumption.

it's like self-driving cars -- if we had a dedicated separate road network just for self-driving cars, and required that they all communicate with standard protocols, then we'd have self-driving cars by now -- but that's not actually the goal of FSD. the goal is to have cars that can use existing infrastructure and co-exist with human drivers.

A major distinction here is that it is very cheap to host content on the internet and VERY EXPENSIVE to build things like a separate road network in the real world.

Who is actually hurt if I publish an llms.txt or MCP in addition to my existing content?
