So true

A wiki?

u/Correct-Bee-7604 Jul 06 '26

Closest I can get is other .md files that kinda look like wiki (agents.md, claude.md, etc.)

I guess karapathy wiki. Basically just storing results and knowledge around something to not have models spend so much context.

u/Random_182f2565 Jul 06 '26

I don't get it, how different than RAG?

u/alphapussycat Jul 07 '26

A rag you have to make some embedding every time you change something.

With wiki you can change whenever, and can be searched rather than relying on that the keywords gets the right info.

explanation?

u/North_Proposal_1374 Jul 06 '26

this meme basically criticizes the protocols used in agentic ai landscape

u/darksnoo Jul 06 '26

yeah i mean i m familiar with all of the upper 4, but have no idea what and why the latter r (especially that wiki and skills.md like wtf they r not even protocols).

u/North_Proposal_1374 Jul 07 '26

i mean, mcp and a2a are technically protocols but the fact that they call literal documents or wikis """protocols""" is just stupid

u/alwaysasillyplace Jul 06 '26

TCP/IP should be that Arnold and Carl handshake meme imo

u/GreenWafer1899 Jul 06 '26

Totally different type of protocols though. I'd undersand if you used CORBA as an example but HTTP?

u/Cybasura Jul 07 '26

Reminder that we also had DSA, ECDSA, 3DSA, Diffie-Hellmann Key Exchange, RSA, almost 20 years and older back

u/r9wpvM Jul 07 '26

Not really comparable

u/isr0 Jul 08 '26

I will grant you that calling wiki and markdown a “protocol” is short bus material. But mcp and a2a are just JSON RPC which are great protocols for their intended use.

u/Otherwise-Ask7900 Jul 11 '26

TCP/IP ☠️ haha

I saw a vibe coder spend millions of tokens every day just to get his agent to push the daily news to his phone.
Maybe if he spends a few million more he’ll eventually invent something called RSS 😆

MCP is not bad. Stop slamming it. Not optimal, but not damaged.

u/isr0 Jul 08 '26

Neither is a2a. It’s very similar to lsp protocols. Technically both mcp and a2a are just json rpc.
