WebMCP is a new open web standard that lets websites expose structured callable tools directly to browser-based AI agents. Instead of agents guessing at pixels, sites now tell agents exactly what functions exist. Google and Microsoft co-developed it. https://www.kdnuggets.com/heres-why-webmcp-is-exciting #AIagent #AI #GenAI #AgenticAI

A Microsoft researcher argues that if LLMs have human-like attributes, then so does Age of Empires II. Adrian de Wynter used the game's goats as logic gates, showing we lack reliable protocols for evaluating LLM sentience claims. https://gizmodo.com/frustrated-microsoft-researcher-uses-goats-in-age-of-empires-ii-to-demo-the-absurdity-of-llms-2000775564 #AIagent #AI #GenAI #AIEthics
