A Deep Technical Dive into Next-Generation Interoperability Protocols: Model Context Protocol (MCP), Agent Communication Protocol (ACP), Agent-to-Agent Protocol (A2A), and Agent Network Protocol (ANP)
As autonomous systems increasingly rely on large language models (LLMs) for reasoning, planning, and action execution, a critical bottleneck has emerged, not in capability but in communication. While LLM agents can parse instructions and call tools, their ability to interoperate with one another in scalable, secure, and modular ways remains deeply constrained. Vendor-specific APIs, ad… →

Acute lorazepam administration does not significantly affect moral attitudes or judgments
Recent scientific studies exploring the neuropsychological foundations of moral decision-making have shown that moral attitudes and evaluations are significantly influenced by emotion, particularly negative emotionality, as well as personality traits such as neuroticism. Further psychopharmacological research has observed that GABAergic agonists are capable of influencing moral decision-making by modifying anxiety-related emotional negativity and/or through cognitive… →
