I don't think people want to feel like they're a customer that's owned, the idea that you're perfectly surveilled, that there's dynamic pricing on DoorDash now, that people hate this.

Something very important there.

Can your own personal LLM insulate you from that by going out in the world on your behalf and prevent you from being tracked and deal with the restaurants directly because they've set up their own little MCP servers?

That would be the dream.

Is that likely?

Right, like, is it likely that we will all have our own little agent server in the basement running on a Raspberry Pi, and every restaurant is gonna have an MCP server, and there's gonna be an MCP discovery engine that's decentralized?

Man, I hope so.

If you are building any of those products, you give us a call.

We will pay so much attention to you that you have no choice but to be successful.

But I don't think that's how it's going to work.

And the flip side of that – and I saw this in the comments on our site.

I see this in comments on YouTube.

I think it's reflected in Angela's comment there.

People aren't happy with DoorDash, right?

They're not happy with these middlemen service providers.

But those service providers exist, right?

So if you disrupt Uber, you get rid of Uber and Lyft and DoorDash and whatever else tomorrow, a lot of people whose income and livelihoods depend on those platforms get disrupted.

So you have to make some tradeoffs along the way.

And you can say, man, I wish Uber never existed.

But the problem is that it does.
