MCP: An (Accidentally) Universal Plugin System worksonmymachine.substack.com
The beautiful chaos is that every MCP server built for Claude or ChatGPT or whatever becomes a free plugin for anything that speaks MCP. It's accidentally creating a universal plugin ecosystem. Nobody planned this (I don’t think). It's just happening.

Thoughts on thinking dcurt.is
I thought I was using AI in an incredibly positive and healthy way, as a bicycle for my mind and a way to vastly increase my thinking capacity. But LLMs are insidious–using them to explore ideas feels like work, but it’s not real work.
I can relate to that. Starting a new coding project? Just spin up an AI and let it do it's job. But what have I learned? Not a lot.
