Warned against

Claude negative
"When we first got Opus 4.5, we were doing cybersecurity checks for the firm. So we had an agent basically set up a website for a pet store and then we took another agent and said tell us if we can exploit that web store... So Opus 4.5 wrote really buggy code. Great."

Mentioned in 1 episode

"The grand wizard of this is Alex Karp. If you watch his interviews, he never talks about Palantir.

And like nobody knows what Palantir does as a result, but it doesn't matter because it's like the future of the US military, Palantir."
