We’re back in the land of the weird. A former karaoke company eats $17bn of trucking stocks. Claude’s 60-year-old coding skills see the COBOL cowboys ride off into the sunset as they wipe $30bn from IBM’s stock in a single day. Microsoft flexes its superhuman powers to etch our history in glass, and erect a real life Fortress of Solitude. 

Oh, and Hollywood loses its mind over ByteDance’s text to video model Seedance 2.0, which allows any casual user to make the blockbuster of their dreams.
