I spent a lot of today messing around connecting Anthropic's MCP system to Emacs and while the LLM's tendency to overwrite my code with its own was annoying, it was fascinating to play with it.
I spent a lot of the early days of the Internet arguing with people who thought it was ruining everything, with terrible art, and disgusting spam, and pervasive anonymity. Maybe they were right: but I realised that for me the better conversations, and better progress, were to be had with those who explored those boundaries to understand them better rather than those who reeled away from them. After some anguishing, I feel the same now. The fear is as much a habit as it is a fixed response.
Maybe that's just how I cope, but then again -- that is what you asked.
