alt Hacker NewsI have some hope that this'll all lead to a revival of semantic web / microformats / etc. Why write an API when you can just add some markup to your existing API, which already looks like stuff that it was trained on, and won't fall out of sync (because you use it too)?

Why would it? Do you see any agents or models use that? No, instead vibe coders at Anthropic vibe-designed a bespoke protocol that sidesteps and ignores the last 60 years of API development and integrations.

I definitely see it going that way from a marketing perspective if you want what you send/produce to be machine readable and actually used in intermediated surfaces like email and web search.
