Every single time in the past 10 years that I have seen some software tech hyped here it has been the same. Look under the hood, it's just some over-engineered stab at vendor lock-in.

The tech industry has become a pyramid scheme to sell more computers. Everything feeds into that. "Cybersecurity", "cyberwarfare" scares, which are enabled by the over-engineering, will be solved by? Yeah more over-engineering. A boom of GPU farms where the answer to all shortcomings is using more GPU farms? First "agent"/mcp codebases I looked at were some naive reinvention of expert systems to scaffold and parse prompts and responses from some LLM endpoint.

It's transparent at this point.
