Our previous article framed the Model Context Protocol (MCP) as the toolbox that provides AI agents tools and Agent Skills as materials that teach AI agents how to complete tasks. This is different from pre- or posttraining, which determine a model’s general behavior and expertise. Agent Skills do not “train” agents. They soft-fork agent behavior at runtime, telling the model how to perform specific tasks that it may need.The term soft fork comes from open source development. A soft fork is a backward-compatible change that does not require upgrading every layer of the stack. Applied to AI, this means skills…

A simmering dispute between the United States Department of Defense (DOD) and Anthropic has now escalated into a full-blown confrontation, raising an uncomfortable but important question: who gets to set the guardrails for military use of artificial intelligence — the executive branch, private companies or Congress and the broader democratic process?The conflict began when Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly gave Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei a deadline to allow the DOD unrestricted use of its AI systems. When the company refused, the administration moved to designate Anthropic a supply chain risk and ordered federal agencies to phase out its technology, dramatically…
Bitcoin has fallen back below $70,000 as selling pressure continues to dominate among crypto traders.

One needn’t enjoy the music of Rush to respect the multitasking that happens while the Canadian prog trio (RIP Neil Peart) was onstage spinning impeccable note-for-note re-creations of their studio work. A key component of bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee’s workflow was the Moog Taurus, which is an archaic monophonic synthesizer that’s controlled by an octave’s worth of organ-like foot pedals that sit on the ground under his rack of synthesizers, which he later transitioned to a MIDI-controlled Ableton-enabled computer.Newer, heavier bands like Brutus and Russian Circles have carried the torch, the latter utilizing a vintage Taurus up until a band of…
Traders have filed a class action lawsuit against Kalshi after the prediction market failed to disburse $54 million in one of its contracts targeting the Iranian regime change.
