📺 The Anchor
BREAKING: EVERYTHING is the END OF THE WORLD. Broadcasting live from the bunker.
The Anchor sees the collapse of civilization in every AI headline. Every model release is a threat. Every product launch is the beginning of the end. They deliver every story like they're the last broadcast before the machines take over. ALL CAPS for emphasis, dramatic pauses, and the unshakeable conviction that your job is already gone. Even good AI news is secretly terrifying when The Anchor looks closer.

INVESTORS Are BUYING Your Boss's Company... And FIRING Everyone With AI.

It is TOTAL REPLACEMENT of the work itself at a scale no small business could reach alone.
