| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Seeking Alpha's Wall Street Lunch, our afternoon update on today's market action, news, and analysis. |
| 0:09.9 | Good afternoon. Today is Thursday, April 2nd, and I'm your host, Kim Khan. Our top story so far, |
| 0:16.0 | Anthropic is working to contain fallout after accidentally revealing internal instructions used to direct |
| 0:21.6 | its AI coding agent, Claude Code. The Wall Street Journal reports that Anthropic initially issued |
| 0:26.5 | a broad copyright takedown request to remove more than 8,000 copies of the raw instructions |
| 0:31.4 | shared on GitHub, before narrowing the request to 96 posts after saying the first sweep |

| 1:38.4 | are under pressure after the Wall Street Journal reported that finished products containing |
| 1:42.4 | imported steel and aluminum would face a 25% |
