- USB-C's versatility allows unexpected connections, like a toaster with HDMI output.
- MCP (Model Context Protocol) is designed for AI but can universally connect any tools or data sources.
- The accidental universality of MCP creates a plugin ecosystem where any MCP server enhances all compatible apps.
- APM (Actions Per Minute) leverages MCP as a plugin system, transforming based on connected MCP servers.
- Great protocols often outgrow their original purposes, like HTTP, Bluetooth, and USB, suggesting MCP's potential beyond AI.
