It's only been a day since Anthropic dropped Model Context Protocol (MCP) with Claude, like universal plug for AI.

Now AI connects to tools and data insanely easier.

And people can't stop getting creative with it to do your work.

10 wild examples:

Starting a new company.

It's called "Cable."

We're going to take all of the streaming services, combine them, put them in one menu, and charge you one simple fee to navigate all of them.

Raising $750m at a $10b valuation.

@OTerrifying We visited this spot in July this past summer. Park rangers said there are tons of grizzlies all around . Everyone Carried $50 bear spray for any hiking

@web3isgreat @doctorow Further in the article it’s reported that the calculation that most of us would think of as daily active users (e.g. sign in and browse) is around 8000. The low number in this headline is their count of users who spend crypto

in a culture awash in cruelty and outrage, it takes real courage to cultivate gentleness, to love others, to pursue justice, to memorize poems, to read thick books, to bless and not curse, to build up instead of tearing down.

@NateBakerDurham Thanks Nate that was super informative

26 years ago, a gunman entered
Dunblane Primary School in Scotland,
killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK
govt responded by enacting tight gun
control legislation. In the 9400+ days
since, there have been a total of O
school shootings in the UK. #Uvalde

Just came out of the climbing gym to drive home. I’d left the radio on and loud when I turned the car off. As I turned the ignition Comfortably Numb started at the same time. My 9th grade self just took high score.

if you watch one thing today make it this

@nanopharmNC Spend a few minutes today visualizing yourself feeling good at mile 20, 21, etc to the end to ensure you can summon the right attitude when the race is it’s hardest. You got this!

We have been made aware of "scary" emails sent in the last few hours that purport to come from the FBI/DHS. While the emails are indeed being sent from infrastructure that is owned by the FBI/DHS (the LEEP portal), our research shows that these emails *are* fake.

The game Entombed was released in 1982 for the Atari 2600. It contains a table of values that make solvable the generated mazes. To this day, researchers do not know how these values were generated and cannot produce an algorithm to generate them https://t.co/zN930Oe3Gv

Lacrymaria Olor is an unicellular microorganism able to stretch its "neck" to about 7-10x its body length. With no eyes, it also looks like it knows where prey are located [read more: https://t.co/TyLC9hG7kH] [source, Jam's Germs: https://t.co/mgibX6dQt4]

Clearly they’ve put their time in at the Santa Elena #climbing gym

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

@NateBakerDurham Maybe Durham has entered the “let’s blend elements of various architecture styles together” phase. This could be the last triple-blend before we enter the all-out phantasmagoria of Cheesecake Factory existence : https://t.co/jkitd8gDvm

If you want a fully immersive "postmodern design hellscape" themed dining experience I highly recommend dinner at The Cheesecake Factory

from a design perspective that place is fuckin wild and I'll talk a little bit about why
