| AI URI Scheme â Internet-Draft | |
| renerick wrote 1 hour 35 min ago: | |
| This document defines a scheme for "AI-adressable" resources without | |
| much care about definition of "AI-addressesable" or even the properties | |
| of such resources, that require a dedicated protocol. | |
| I get very strong "E = mc^2 + AI" vibes from it, just shoehorning the | |
| coveted letters everywhere | |

| Impressive, not just a new URI scheme, but also a brand-new Internet | |
| protocol, all in one concise paper. | |
| Does the IETF have a red fat button on their desks, like the one often | |
| seen on variety shows, to instantly disqualify low effort submissions? | |
| You can infer that the document (and the interaction between the | |
| culprit and the IETF) was half-assed with the help of AI: [1] . | |

| > enabling autonomous systems and robots to connect | |
| I was not expecting such ambiguous and inaccurate wording from IETF. | |
| Why "ai" and not, how it was traditionally called on the web, "robots"? | |
| And of course this does not make any sense since vast majority of HTTP | |
| traffic is already autonomous. | |

| Is this a new protocol for us to put our remote MCP and remote | |
| resources behind? | |

| There is a newer version here [1] I don't understand what problem this | |
| is trying to solve though. | |

| That's the protocol specification, not the URI scheme. And the packet | |
| diagram is amazing because it's missing every odd bit and "SigLen | |
| (16)" is twice the width it should be. I guess they vibecoded it. | |
| wongarsu wrote 1 hour 59 min ago: | |
| This feels like half the document is missing. What does this HTTPS | |
| metadata actually look like? What do the payloads look like? Section | |
| 3 states "Authorization, policy enforcement, and result verification | |
| are defined by AIIP" but this is the AIIP specification and doesn't | |
| define any of them. Authorization and policy enforcement are somehow | |
| supposed to be big selling points that are solved in some amazing | |
| way, but are not specified at all. | |
| I don't get how this is better than an HTTP API (especially since | |
| payloads are just UTF8 json), and that's entirely down to the | |
| document not telling us anything of substance. I get it's | |
| "experimental", but there isn't much of an experiment being described | |
| here apart from a different message frame that allows us to leave out | |
| the http headers and add a signature (while apparently using the | |
| assumption that each ip only hosts one AIIP service) | |

| Author seems to have no Internet presence and claims to be employed | |
| by the "Artificial Intelligence Internet Foundation". Which either | |
| doesn't have a website or is this placeholder: [1] So it seems to be | |
| a random person cosplaying as a spec author. Or possibly trying to | |
| have something impressive on their résumé. | |

| Or an upstart AI firm trying to puff up a forthcoming marketing | |

| âOur AI invented its own AI-native protocol for other AIs, see? | |
| Far beyond human comprehension, but it graciously dumbed it down | |

| I build coding agents for a living, and I'm struggling to map this onto | |
| the set of things I do at work. | |
| In general, interoperability and user choice are really important for | |
| us to get right as the community of people building AI platforms... | |
| Have others reading this document been able to map it onto their work? | |
| As a specific example: | |
| > ai://bank/service/payments?amount=10¤cy=USD | |
| I'm not sure what this is representing here. Is it a way to encode a | |
| clickable link to chat with `bank` about `service/payments` with a few | |
| additional args attached? | |
