Anthropic IPO filing triggered maximum search interest of 100 as retail chases the AI infrastructure play, while Microsoft layoff anxiety spiked 500% despite the stock gaining 37% over three months, and SanDisk (SNDK) trades 33% off highs with near-zero search attention despite being a real $181B AI-adjacent storage company. Prediction markets price recession odds at just 7.5%, suggesting tech sector layoff fears are creating sentiment discounts rather than signaling macro deterioration.
