still anthropic made MCP more approachable at the end of year with Code execution with MCP. Meaning?

suggestion that Anthropic's own Skills (a markdown file w perhaps some scripts) maybe bigger than their MCP

Bun is a js runtime, Anthropic bought it to roll into Claude code

Anthropic reached $1bn revenue with ClaudeCode within 6 months.

This article reports that Anthropic has agreed to pay out a $1.5 billion settlement for copyright violations while training their Claude AI tool on books found on the Internet. That works out to be about $3000 per book.

The whole idea of books (at least nonfiction books) is that readers are supposed to learn from them. But now if actual learning from them takes place it's a $3000 charge!

It used to be that to violate a copyright required copying, not merely training. What's more, in the USA the sole justification for government-enforced monopolies on intellectual property is Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 of the U.S. Constitution, which authorizes copyrights and patents only to "to promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts," and only "for limited Times," and only "to Authors and Inventors." By extending copyright duration to the "author's life plus 70 years," Congress flouted those restrictions, and this precedent further tramples them, by clearly impeding the progress of science and useful arts.

Github repositories for MCP by Anthropic. MIT Licences at first glance.

Anthropic proposes 'Model Context Protocol' MCP on how to connect local/external info sources to LLMs and agents, as a standard. To make ai tools more context aware. Article says MCP is open source. Idea is to attach a MCP server to every source and have that interact over MCP with the MCP client attached to a model and/or tools.

Anthropic is the org of Claude model.

Transcript of 5+ hrs (!) of Dario Amodei (CEO Anthropic) talking about AI, AGI and more. Lots to go through it seems. Vgl [[My Last Five Years of Work]] by Amodei's 'chief of staff' whatever that means wrt a CEO other than sounding grandiose.

Ha, rather than "Please note that the transcript is machine generated and is certain to contain errors".

I'm tempted to run this transcript through Claude for summaries and structure. See how that works.
