in the 2010s, big companies were avoiding open standards such as RSS. now, they are actively coming up with new open standards for AI like MCP and google just released A2A

what has changed?

Im the guy that posted all those factory memes once

so the bet is if it is easier to build agents, more agents will be built and LLM usage will increase in general? how is this capturing any value?

Value capture, disruptive leverage, open source as a business strategy is better understood especially because you can still rug and go close source at any point i.e. Google with Android

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

I was remembering recently how in the early 2010s, RSS was being chastised for "stealing" traffic from websites.

Reminded me of LLMs today.
