From potential to scary
Mayank Parmar caught my attention when he wrote, "MCP may not have a lot of use cases for consumers, but it could be a game-changer for enterprises, as it will allow businesses to connect their internal tools to ChatGPT and share data when required." In this case MCP is Model Context Protocol, a connectivity feature. I thought, indeed the potential for change is extreme. Then I thought about it a second time and I thought, indeed the potential for change (both good and bad), is extreme. Then I started thinking about how they might be connected and pondered how and if this could be used by end users for shadowAI and that is actually scary. Read more at

The Car That Loved Me
Can Apple really claim that CarPlay Ultra when only James Bond or a few hundred other people will be able to use it? Don't get me wrong, I love CarPlay and use it all the time in my Volkswagen Tiguan, but come on - Aston Martins?! So the new Ultra version, "...in addition to displaying compatible iPhone apps on the car's center infotainment screen, CarPlay Ultra will also take over the main instrument panel in front of the driver, replacing the OEM-designed dials like the speedometer and tachometer with a number of different Apple designs instead." Any idea when I'll see it for my Volkswagen? Read more at
