Open MCP access should become a legal imperative. Better consumer choice, less companies stifling competition. Tell your Congressperson! An easy way to frame it: why should I have to cross check Amazon or eBay or Walmart or w/e stupid janky frontend myself and find the best price/product? Why isn't it good for the economy if any agent harness can interface with such data as a consumer right? The question is no different here. But most people don't know what figma is (it will probably not exist in 10 years anyway). However if we focus on the big abusers of platform economics, then the benefits we accrue from highlighting the tensions with consumers at those entities will simply flow downstream into the wider economy. An economy that is more transparent is also a necessary precursor to robust UBI. When a company like Figma makes this move, the correct read should be they are buying into a playbook bent on depriving all of us of a more equitable future - one of the few optimistic possibilities for the highly contested future we are rapidly approaching. | ||
