When humans add agents, processes of cross guessing to remove really bad guesses, when humans inject parsers under LLM skin, when humans add these, how can we call it emergent.
Emergent is when it shows up itself.
You may say I am nitpicking. But this is a fundamental difference that also speaks to potential, and funding/investing. Emergent was promised, but hadn't emerged, yet. AGI goes into the same bin.

MCP servers -> add actual data to hope for better guesses.
Intermingle with parsers that check correctness of other guesses.
All of these are like force vectors that push guesses, mold guesses.
But there are no models there. Your head has many. If llm had models, it would stick to them instead of being on a wind of next token train/generator, what we call in humanized way, halucinations (thank marketing for misleading).

This whole agentic craze is simple.
Have guessers producing outputs/guesses in some perpendicular way. Intersection produces better guess.

As a human, when we do that "inference" we also train on the way.
Note that LLMs don't do that.
We are seriously projecting humanized view on this Neural Networks, into which lots of Internet's content was condensed/distilled into.
Heck, please point me to place with explicit model of anything in LLMs. You, a human, have it. LLMs just don't have this code.
These are Large Language Condensates. Very good for guessing.

... support of quantum labs by buying this?
More direct funding would be more efficient in my opinion.

I personally had a glass of wine at IQC openning. Institute for Quantum Computing that is. 20+ years ago? ...
There was heuristic argument about too much quantum clean state and dicoherence. I've stopped waiting for quantum computer.
General public doesn't quite grasp a physical meaning of physicists' words, that we don't get quantum, despite all these calculations.
This is what you also discuss in quantum computation class ... before opening IQC.

You mean hilarious that these arguments need to be addressed. This hypotheticals need to be addressed.
Isn't that arguing thingy? Just arguing. But in absence of counter arguments, the ... high commitees 👀 will say pq is enough, reducing everyone's ... strenth of signal, if I may.

Very conservative in security, and with imprinted memory of the 1st crypto war's shots, fired ... through his life.
Now, what are relative sizes of ecc vs pq keys, and what are relative computational requirements?
Wierdo needing a reality based arguments, not socially-based ones. Unlike normies?

When the hate was coming, from what place?
People are given simplistic views, so that they run like drones, ... unknownly making damage.
Simplistic (in number of features/parts) and emotionally charged (of course) views.
When a close to you person got blinded, spend time in education.
Don't let them shut your light off.
Do you need to be liked by them. Or, tech appreciation is more important. To be liked, you need to do beers/whatnot, code is actually irrelevant. Just an excuse.

On top of it, my video player should critically assess/check signatures. And I haven't heard about such API in my VLC

I am not sure. It doesn't look so. Unless someone can describe mechanism behind abstract words "digital watermarking".
I haven't heard about anyone keeping keys and identity to cryptographically (signing) sign watermarks. Let alone suggested control of quote-me-with-context that is forced by strict crypto.
Watermarks are good for spying, i.e. were parts of stuff are used and by who. Can AI fake and add watermarks, to lay down wrong traces 🤔

Exploring signing thought further:
Video format, with signatures. But signing takes a bunch of bytes as a whole chunk. Hence, it may be either signature of the whole thing, or many signatures of segments.
When someone quotes your video, they take a segment, to pass with your signature. This way quoting party can't be accussed of giving fake, and quoted party, by using segments can ensure that signed blob incorporates enough context to stop "quoting out of context". 🤔 ☕️

For stuffers to print easily and put in front of needed eyes?
To send it to places that have restrictive firewalling/egress, to let 'em know what they'll loose?
IMHO, it is a perfect choice in 21st century, of a good quote from a start of the 20th one.

And another:
Much of the internet wants us to dwell in shallow, curated versions of our own minds. By encouraging us to constantly turn inward through personalised algorithms, we are no longer invited to encounter authentic otherness, but to loop endlessly within the contours of what we already know, believe, and prefer. We become trapped in a hall of increasingly vacuous mirrors, fed content that flatters, not confronts, until thinking itself feels like friction.

"servers are reduced to dumb store-and-forward relays".
But since it is SMTP transport, hacked server can become to store-record_sender+recipient_pair-and-forward.
Look. Signal has server code open. How do I know that right now my client side connects to server running this code?
Hence, what client tells server becomes important. In SMTP client fills to and from fields, plus authentication to sending server.
Next step would be an option to use better transport.

You do understand, that if Russia moves on to Baltic countries, even current plans assume loss of that part of EU.
