A Reddit post highlights a striking gap even among AI enthusiasts.
- One end: users marveling at basics like "I gave Claude a browser via MCP" or "Claude + filesystem — I stopped moving files manually"
- The other: users whose agents spawn throwaway cloud VMs running more agents, with provenance-based memory, inter-session messaging, and full tool ecosystems
The author asks where this gap comes from given the abundance of tutorials and shared knowledge; the thread sparked discussion.
