Investor Joe Lonsdale released a podcast conversation with Anthropic's Sholto Douglas and the rarely seen themarwell, whom Sholto calls a legend inside the company critical to many key programs.
- Recorded over a month ago; Anthropic comms objected to certain parts and delayed release

- Sholto notes this is likely themarwell's first public appearance and calls the questions tough
