Software ate the world. Federation will eat embeddings

The author lights a match under the AI hype machine, yelling: stop building giant data bunkers for chatbots and let agent-style AI pull info straight from the tools you already use. No more “vector databases” and “embeddings” for basic questions—just give an AI agent safe access to your CRM, billing, and warehouse via MCP (Model Context Protocol) and let it work. Cue the comment drama: early readers pounced on the demo, with one sharp-eyed user pointing out the author “calls tool C twice,” sparking a mini flame war over whether this was clever composition or just a typo. The mood? Half “finally someone said it,” half “this is oversimplified.”

Fans of the agent-first approach cheered the promise of real-time answers without months of setup, dropping memes about the “RAG cult” (RAG = retrieve and answer) and “embedding bros” who love overengineering. Skeptics shot back that “you’ll need a data layer eventually,” warning that shiny agents can still hallucinate numbers—exactly the complaint the post levels at RAG. Meanwhile, tooling nerds debated protocol details, linking to modelcontextprotocol.io and asking whether tool orchestration is secretly just another layer. Punchline of the thread: whether this kills vector databases or just delays them, the AI centralization tax is suddenly very uncool.
