To the reader/asker:
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Intel Stock (NASDAQ:INTC) Blasts Up as Mac Support Dies - TipRanks

The NASA science missions that would be axed in Trump’s 2026 budget - The Washington Post

Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
What are the signs of covert narcissistic abuse that most people miss?
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
