I use agents a lot and have written several MCP servers now, the tasks I automate aren't things like order cupcakes, it's mainly the glue between complex things.

I still can't get Claude to nicely open a JIRA ticket for me, but I can get it to read through a sequence of connected documents and filter that into.

I don't think agents are ready for the main event and these are some poor examples of their power.

I'm not saying they won't improve, but using the right tool for the right job is critical. An hour to order cupcakes is silly even for an llm.

I saw one the other day and someone just painted over it and wrote "fuck nazis" which I liked

The mongols would rule the shit out of this supercontinent

Okay but that’s not what easier means.

Easier would be to call the bakery or spending 10 minutes browsing their website, asking to cast, and checking out.

I don’t want to spend an hour on tasks that would normally take 10 minutes. My executive dysfunctions already make me good at doing that.

This might be a revolutionary idea, but what if they helped me do that take an hour in 10 minutes?

I’m just putting that idea out there totally for free in case any AI companies want to jump on that opportunity.

I don’t mind paying for a solid rotation of content to watch, I don’t have to own everything. People were mostly happy with blockbuster’s business model.

The streaming industry is a heaping pile of shit right now though, and everyone is trying to dial us back to the worst of cable again.

I’m so tempted to start a store that sells green or orange hats that say “Release the Epstein Files”

Is that why the stock market is up today?

The cow in that logo is too damn smug

Yeah, you don’t get fired for supporting a political party, you get fired for bringing it up constantly and being an ass.

If you asked my coworkers they wouldn’t know my political views.

A stranger once offered my wife a bag of raw kangaroo meat as a thank you for helping them. We have no idea where they got kangaroo meat, as we live in Canada.

She accepted it, but by the time she got home it looked highly suspicious and we didn’t eat it :(

I’ve recently come to realize if you eat everything in a sandwich individually on a board it’s 10x fancier.

100x if you add 3-4 grapes around the edges.

How does this come up as enough of an issue at work that your boss takes action on it?
