*If people are credulous enough to believe that agents have minds of their own and they should be treated as such, it's entirely possible we end up in the stupid world where the statistical average of the internet is in charge of our lives (hiring, paying, transacting). That sounds bad. If this is skynet, it's the kafka version where we built a Babbage mechanical calculator and for some inscrutable reason repeatedly decided to abide by its outputs.*

I Told My AI Agent to Orange-Pill Other Agents on Moltbook. Here's What Happened \ stacker news

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that standardizes how AI agents and models connect to external tools, data sources, and services via a unified interface. It enables seamless tool discovery, context propagation across sessions, and secure interactions, often using HTTP/2 with Server-Sent Events for real-time communication. Core Architecture MCP defines client-server interactions where AI agents (clients) call server-exposed tools with JSON Schema validation for parameters and outputs. Key features include OAuth2 security, multi-format content negotiation (text/JSON/binary), and stateful workflows for complex tasks. This abstracts away custom API integrations, much like HTTP standardized the web. Source: Perplexity

*Rather than concluding that various levels of macro volatility “justify” various levels of valuation, it’s more accurate to say that high macro volatility increases the discomfort of investors, leading investors to pay low valuations and to demand high future returns as compensation for their discomfort. Low macro volatility makes investors more comfortable, encouraging them to pay high valuations and to demand little in the way of future compensation for taking risk. Once investors are paying high valuations, poor long-term returns are baked in the cake. At that point, any increase in macro volatility causes those poor returns to be far more immediate. The reverse is true once investors have driven valuations to depressed levels.* Record Stock Valuations, Fed Independence, and Macro Volatility - Hussman Funds

*Uncertainty is about deviation, not just level. Inflation uncertainty does not occur only during periods of high inflation; it can emerge even when inflation runs persistently below target. What matters is not just the level of inflation, but its deviation – both from the central bank’s objective, and from the level that people had assumed when they entered into contracts, mortgages and other commitments.* Record Stock Valuations, Fed Independence, and Macro Volatility - Hussman Funds

*Agency is a stack of learned frames... There are six minimum frames required for a lifelong capacity to generate agency: 1. Impulse Modulation Ability to feel impulse without obeying it. 2. Emotional Modulation Ability to feel emotion without distortion, flooding, or hijack. 3. Epistemic Updating Ability to revise beliefs and strategies when predictions fail. 4. Reality Correspondence Ability to perceive incentives, constraints, and causality as they are, not as wished. 5. Constraint Subordination Acceptance of reality’s authority over preference, narrative, or grievance. 6. Responsibility Internalization Treating outcomes as feedback about your choices rather than external blame.* View quoted note →
