What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Maybe the Pentagon is wrong and they need to buy more on Tropic and just point it at the enemy. It'll bring China to its knees. When you are priced for perfection, anything less than perfection will be a kick in the nuts.
How did Anthropic's security product impact public markets?
If you look at all the publicly traded B2B companies, there's only one that has a competitive agent. It's Palantir. I'm going to say we're going to produce 100,000 decamillionaires out of these AI leaders. Almost all the B2B software we use today is terrible now.
If the only thing that's impacted here is the B2B software industry, my suspicion is the rest of the world will go, yeah, I'm willing to lose those guys.
Here's the greatest dislocation if I look at the public stocks, right? Klaviyo versus Shopify.
This is 20VC with me, Harry Stebbings.
