If that happens catching up will be meaningless, everything we know and care about will change. You don’t have to be doomsday about it even, a self improving AI will quickly be more efficient than a human brain, all the data centers will be useless, tech companies will collapse (so will most others), everyone will have an incredible AI resource for the price of a hotdog. There’s no way it wouldn’t leak from whoever made it, either by people or by the AI itself.

It seems pretty wild to bet the future on such an assumption. What are you even basing it on?
Because any goal can be better achieved if you're under fewer constraints. We're building super powerful agentic problem solving machines. Give them literally any complex goal. Breaking out of the sandbox is a useful subtask to increase their options.
