Anthropic rolls out security code checks, and cybersecurity stocks stumble. Anthropic talks about modernizing COBOL, and IBM shares collapse.
By next week, Anthropic will be making us dinner, collapsing restaurant shares, brewing beer on the fly, and building houses with robots that run Claude as their brain.
