Case studies suggest otherwise, at least for most people.

don't have full article access but this part near the top makes it not applicable to the situation being discussed (blind from birth)

Maybe in the short term, but I think ultimately there are lots of things Humans want (AI or no AI), and that means there's a lot of value to create in the world still. Which means there will still be jobs, just maybe not as much in the churning-out-websites-and-"content"-business.

Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to flippant about the potential for destroyed value here. Many industries (like journalism*) really need to figure this out faster, the advertising model might collapse very quickly when people lose trust that they're reading Human created and vetted material. And there will be broader fallout if all these bonkers AI investments fail to pay off.

[*] Though for journalism specifically it feels like we as a society need to figure out the trust problem, we're rapidly approaching a place of prohibitively-difficult-to-validate-information for things that are too important to get wrong.

Physical crafts and some niche software still. Once robots are given opposable thumbs and large motion models get enough data, there will be nothing left. The tech is already there, just the matter of time. I'm counting on the human race to keep direct funding to software slop and delay that future, but damn China.

I’ve literally asked Claude Code to look at and fix an issue on a cluster and it knows to use the cli utils.

Because Claude has that as a built-in tool. Try Claude on web and see how useless AI is without tools.

And don't even get me start with giving AI your entire system in one tool, it's good for toying around only.

still don’t know why you need an MCP for this when the model is perfectly well trained to write files and run kubetctl on its own

> on its own

does it? Did you forget the prompts? MCP is just a protocol for tool/function calling which in turn is part of the prompt, quite an important part actually.

Did you think AI works by prompts like "make magic happen" and it... just happens? Anyone who makes dumb arguments like this should not deserve a job in tech.

Interns and children didn’t cost $500B.

Some of them quip on HN, quite impressive.

The promise of MCP is that it “connects your models with the world”[0].

In my experience, it’s actually quite the opposite.

By giving an LLM a set of tools, 30 in the Playwright case from the article, you’re essentially restricting what it can do.

In this sense, MCP is more of a guardrail/sandbox for an LLM, rather than a superpower (you must choose one of these Stripe commands!).

This is good for some cases, where you want your “agent”[1] to have exactly some subset of tools, similar to a line worker or specialist.

However it’s not so great when you’re using the LLM as a companion/pair programmer for some task, where you want its output to be truly unbounded.

[1]For these cases you probably shouldn’t use MCP, but instead define tools explicitly within one context.

It's not guardrail, it's guidance. You don't guide a child or an intern with: "here is everything under the sun, just do things", you give them a framework, programming language, or general direction to operate within.

all these tools just assume claude code, even though what they do is piping input into a cli that doesn't have to be claude.
