Nostalgia? Maybe not even, as you could buy a second hand iPod off eBay. Maybe for people that only use dumbphones and want still the possibility of listening to music?

Curious to see how much they sell, I suspect not much

Re:There are no "rogue" AI agents on Sunday September 27, 2026 @05:00PM (#49870776)
I think this promotes the narrative that these companies possess agents so powerful that even humans struggle to control them, which ultimately makes their products look sexier. Additionally, I believe AI leaders may have called for regulations to slow down development simply to catch their breath for the sake of our 'survival': agents are going rogue, help us stop them.

Some recent hacks done with the support of agents occurred simply because endpoints were unprotected. With traditional hacking, the blame falls on the person who didn't secure their system. But with AI, the immediate reaction is to fear we are on the verge of extinction!

HN feels a bit like the good old Internet. I hope it keeps being like this, as I feel interactions are nicer and calm here

Why do you think reading news makes you more disinformed? Because it makes you aware of what you don't know enough?
Re:Why MCP Was Always a Bad Idea on Sunday September 20, 2026 @05:44PM (#49780412)
Isn't the whole point of an MCP is to increase somehow the determinism of how to communicate with a certain external system? MCPs feel to give easier guidance to the LLMs, rather than letting them extracting the knowledge on how to connect to a given system.

Without, I feel they are more confused on how to get an outcome, as they may try, infra or inter sessions, different approaches
