So what you're saying is Intel, or any other would-be NVIDIA competitor, needs to put out fast interconnects, not just compute cards. This is true.

I'm not sure your argument stands when it comes to OP's idea of a single card with 128GB VRAM. This would be enough to run ~180B models with reasonable quantization --we're not near maxing out the capability of 180B yet (see the latest 32B models performing near public SOTA).

This indeed would push rapid and wide adoption and be quite disruptive. But sure, it wouldn't instantly enable competitive training of 405B models.

Yeah, this is is true. I've been taking for 3 months now --best consistent sleep of my life, but definitely occasionally the most terrifying sleep paralysis I've ever experienced, or even heard of.

I know it sounds ridiculous, but ~1-2 nights of absolute terror per week is totally worth it compared to how it used to be (getting maybe ~1 good night of sleep every couple weeks.)

Your point about boilerplate is key, and it’s why I think MCP could work well despite some of the concerns raised. Right now, so many of us are writing redundant integrations or reinventing the same abstractions for tool usage and context management. Even if the first iteration of MCP feels broad or clunky, standardizing this layer could massively reduce friction over time.

Regarding the standalone servers, I suspect they’re aiming for usability over elegance in the short term. It’s a classic trade-off: get the protocol in people’s hands to build momentum, then refine the developer experience later.

YouTube no longer has a monopoly on internet video distribution. If you notice, all the major platforms now have good support for direct posting of videos.

Further, it's now easier than ever to decouple one's online life from google and so anyone not doing so is taking unnecessary risk.

Likewise. Got an error at first, then it was working fine.

I wonder how LLM performance is on the higher core counts?

With recent DDR generations and many core CPUs, perhaps CPUs will give GPUs a run for their money.
