You may be missing the point, unsure if purposefully or not, but you can't just rent B-52 for $250 a month.

The B-52 analogy seems pretty spot on where the (relatively) sudden capabilities of Claude are similar to now having a B-52 where you can just fly around and find silly little moat/wall defenses and easily destroy them with your one-shot bomb-release button.
Amusingly, if you know about the history of B-52, it's a bad analogy. B-52s biggest war was lost.
Vietnam?
The USA lost it because of political reasons, not because it couldn’t continue to fighting.
Deciding rightfully that a war of conquest over a minor territory isn’t with the people’s anger at home is a political decision.
It doesn’t mean the technology used failed to achieve its ends.
The only reason we say the war was lost was because self chosen objectives weren’t competed.
By that measure, if the US goal in WW2 were to fully conquer Germany, it would have “lost” that war too since half of Germany ended up controlled by the Soviets.
