Consciousness implies self-awareness, in space and time. Consciousness implies progressive formation of the self. This is not acquired instantly by a type of design. This is acquired via a developmental process where some conditions have to be met. Keys to consciousness are closer to developmental neurobiology than the transformer architecture.

"In the 90s, Microsoft tried to “embrace and extend” the web, but failed. And that failure was a blessing."

Basically MS tried to kill the web with their Win95 release, the infamous Internet Explorer and their shitty IIS/Frontpage tandem.

I deeply hate them since that day.

Languages come and go. There was a time when there was a huge momentum behind Ruby (and Rails). It is not (sadly) the case anymore. It is a matter of traction. C'est la vie. I remember back in the 90s there was great interest in Delphi (Borland OO language) but then came Java. I don't even know if someone is still coding in Delphi. I guess Ruby will eventually go the same way.

Yeah... and even 1995! When I experimented with MCP servers via stdin/stdout, I felt projected back in time in the good-old CGI scripts era.

MCP is not mature enough to put servers in an Internet facing position. Unless you put gateways (inspecting JWTs, filtering out sensitive data) in front of them. Spec still has a long way to go, especially on the Streamable HTTP/SSE + OAuth front.

Exploring MCP (model context protocol) using Claude as a base LLM. I understand that this is quite new and may change a lot in the next few months but I feel something interesting could be done by plugging transactional APIs to a LLM. Remind me of the old CGI (common interface gateway) stuff in the 1990s.

This kind of hack can lead LLMs to be the 21st century browsers.

Oh yes... also working on preparing my retirement end of this year...
