<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Anthropic’s new plugin supposedly wiped out $400 billion in tech stocks</strong>: Anthropic introduced Claude Co-work with industry-specific plugins, and the article title claims this “Wiped Out $400 Billion In Tech Stocks.” Because apparently, a new AI feature is now solely responsible for market fluctuations, and not, you know, the entire global economy or investor sentiment.
