Sites using NLWeb can make       their content discoverable and accessible to platforms that support       MCP. NLWeb could play a similar role to HTML for the agentic web and       allow users to interact directly with web content in a rich, semantic       manner. The NLWeb project started with OpenAI, which was working on an       early version last November.                23ANDME AND ITS USER DATA WILL SOON BELONG TO A PHARMACEUTICAL GIANT       (2 MINUTE READ) [8]                23andMe will be sold to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals for $256 million.       The sale includes 23andMe's Total Health and Research Services       business and biobank of customer data and genetic samples. 23andMe       says that customer data is anonymized and stored genetic samples are       destroyed when users delete their accounts, but it is unclear how much       information is retained. Regeneron's co-founder said that the purchase       will further the company's large-scale genetics research into future       drugs and treatments. 23andMe has collected genetic samples and data       from more than 15 million customers.                MICROSOFT CTO KEVIN SCOTT ON HOW AI CAN SAVE THE WEB, NOT DESTROY IT       (56 MINUTE READ) [24]                A transcript of an interview with Microsoft's Chief Technology       Officer, Kevin Scott, where he talks about the future of search,       Microsoft's relationship with OpenAI, Scott's feelings about AI's       capabilities scaling up over time, and his thoughts on AI as a       creative tool.               Links:       ------       [5] https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/19/nlweb-is-microsofts-project-to-bring-more       -chatbots-to-webpages/?utm_source=tldrnewsletter       [8] https://www.theverge.com/news/669548/23andme-bankruptcy-auction-regeneron-p       urchase?utm_source=tldrnewsletter       [24] https://www.theverge.com/decoder-podcast-with-nilay-patel/669409/microsoft       -cto-kevin-scott-interview-ai-natural-language-search-openai?utm_source=tldrnew       sletter               -- https://tldr.tech/tech              $$       --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux        * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/14 305 153/7715 154/110 218/700       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 111 114 206 300 307 317 400 426 428       SEEN-BY: 229/470 664 700 705 266/512 291/111 320/219 322/757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 460/58 712/848 902/26 2320/0 105 3634/12 5075/35       PATH: 2320/105 229/426           |
