Anthropic's data shows Claude Opus 4.6 handles 12-hour tasks (up from 4 minutes a year ago), with effective autonomy time horizons doubling every 4-7 months, implying full recursive self-improvement (infinite time horizons) within 12 months.

When algorithmic gains asymptote, recursive self-improvement will redirect optimization pressure down the stack, causing a 'nova' at the infrastructure layer — massive horizontal scaling of compute, energy (fusion), and manufacturing to build Dyson swarms.

Most SMBs use AI for low-value tasks (meeting summaries) or build redundant tools; the real alpha is restructuring workflows so AI handles 50%+ of steps, cutting headcount per unit of output, expanding margins before price compression hits, and keeping AI usage hidden to charge human prices with tech costs.

Both Sanders (50% equity) and the White House now support government equity stakes in frontier AI labs as the funding mechanism for UBI/universal basic dividend, creating a structural tailwind for quasi-nationalization via 5-10% golden shares (Intel precedent).

Hormozi argues SMBs misuse AI by launching new AI ventures instead of embedding AI into current operations: map org chart to workflows, replace human steps with AI agents, keep human pricing while tech costs drop. The arbitrage window (human prices, tech costs) expands margins before price competition arrives.
