I think that the bot/agent problem is so huge that humans need a separate space where they can discuss in peace. No idea how to achieve that, or whether the gemini and gopher radicalists where right all along. But the effect of botnets for hire, and now LLM proxies for hire is the result of surveillance capitalism, where too greedy and immoral players in the game have a strategical advantage against the ones respecting their ethical boundaries.

However, coming back to the original problem: MCP is killing the human parts of the internet. The "loud crowd" isn't radicalized humans anymore, it's bots for the most part.

Maybe we need an artificially slower version of the internet, where people are forced to write thoughtful letters (or whatever the quintessence of letters used to be) without the possibility to engage in fast-lived influencer-like content? Dunno, to be honest, at this point this is very hard to tell.
