If your grandma used Claude, then how would she be useful for solving alignment? By having Claude advocate for an AI pause, as Nesov suggested? By having a counterfactual Amodei, as opposed to Altman, convince another politician?
Yes, the primary mechanism would be the public and politicans taking Anthropic and Dario more seriously, while OpenAI having less political power. A big question is whether Anthropic would use its political sway in this counter-factual world better than OpenAI did in the last years in our world.
