I don’t know how anyone is surprised by this, but many of my colleagues are still beavering away at MCPs that will likely grant bots access to permanently destroy data. Everyone’s going round and round the cycle where they start to believe the LLM is actually intelligent until it does something completely terrible, but then they fall for it again - “in six to twelve months the model will be so much better!”.
I’m a Cursor convert, honestly, but the way people are using MCPs is just insane. I’ve already heard dozens of stories from coworkers of it looping and creating hundreds of Jiras, I don’t understand how anyone is comfortable enough to connect it to actual systems 😱😱😱
I’d say it is frustrating to watch one’s peers fall into obviously dumb traps that will blow up in their face, but that’s literally what it is to be a software engineer.
