AI Is Ripe for Disruption, Too

I recently asked Claude to help me think through the structure of my next book. I already knew where the weak point was — I just wanted to see what Claude would come up with. I was amazed by its response: Claude didn’t just correctly identify the problem. It suggested how to use an idea from a paper I had published more than a decade ago to fix it. In other words, Claude had discovered something in my own writing that I hadn’t even thought of.

But Claude also took 10 minutes to respond. Ten minutes of GPU clusters drawing enough power for a small apartment, constructing chains of reasoning no human will ever see. All to revise an outline. The result was worth every penny of my $100 monthly subscription. I do this dozens of times a day. I can’t be sure how much money Anthropic is losing on me — but it’s a lot.
