Large U.S. companies are increasingly adopting AI agents for core business functions, moving from hype to production.
The episode examines what's new: AI-agent coding tools that can work in the background like personal assistants. Warzel is joined by Anil Dash, a longtime technologist, to unpack how hype and venture-capital incentives can distort the conversation around advances, and what the rise of tools like Claude Code and the more reckless "OpenClaw" experiments mean for labor, security, and everyday work.
One thing I always do when I prompt a coding agent is to tell it to ask me any questions that it might have about what I've asked it to do. (I need to add this to my default system prompt...) And, holy mackerel, if it doesn't ask good questions. It almost always asks me things that I should have thought of myself.
Since GitHub Copilot launched as a preview in Summer 2021, we have seen an explosion of coding assistant products. Initially used as code completion on steroids, some products in this space (like Cursor and Windsurf) rapidly moved towards agentic interactions.
