As opposed to what, the US military, or better yet Israel (because we all know they won't be excluded) using that model to drive weaponry that kills people? Your hypothetical implies that there is a better alternative, but when those

My record for a single uninterrupted session (albeit with Codex, not Claude) is 80+ hours. It was very productive, too. The trick is having large, extensive test suites and forcing the agent to run them regularly.
