I know middle management will resist this in all sorts of subtle ways, usually as concern trolling not unlike what happens now with self driving cars that are demonstrably better than human ones, but get nitpicked for every error.

The difference is that an AI-native enterprise can operate at a massive efficiency differential compared to an older one. So expect that domains where there is actual market competition to be the bleeding edge of adoption, likely through new companies who have no "frozen middle" to resist.

1) Company Bio can be full of middle management and Company Artificial can produce/sell/deliver at much faster speed.

a) The Owners & Upper Management at Bio will quickly eliminate middle management. Profit trumps all else.

2) Seeing the extremes taking place in today's world, remember when the AGI protects itself, will be learning from what takes place. The RL placed on the shopper (training human) matched against logistical attack on legal/political will blow well meaning humans away... and the other humans will reap windfall.

Case in point> Steven Adler published a good look at the misinformation regarding current claim of 1,000 proposed AI regs on state level busting the myth. Today begins the debate in the House re the Senate bill so it will be interesting to see if the myth has effect...
