I call this the Laurie Anderson fallacy, from a line in one of her songs:
> "Heaven is exactly like where you are right now, but much, much better."
If a million Claudes of compute were accessible, people would not be doing the same things they are now, but more so. They'd be doing very different things we likely can't imagine - in the same way that Alan Turing imagined machines learning from experience, but didn't imagine downstream products like Sora, ad tech, or social media, or their cultural and economic effects.
