About this book
Every fact in this book has a numbered note to its source, and each one was checked against that source.
The book is written to the standard of an academic study. Dates, numbers, quotes and "who did what" are cited; definitions and analogies are not. When a company describes its own product, the book says so ("Anthropic says…").
- The originalPapers, patents, manuals, the person's own words, and each company's own documentation for its own products.
- ScholarsBooks from university and established presses, peer-reviewed articles, and museums and archives.
- Encyclopedias"Read more" only. Never the only source for a claim.
Researched and drafted with help from AI (Claude), then checked claim by claim against the cited sources. Errors are mine; every page has a link to report one. Last verified October 26, 2026.
An educational overview, not legal advice. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google or Microsoft. The full method is in Appendix E, and every source is in Appendix D.
