Mike Frank argues humans have already been largely disempowered by superintelligent economic entities like corporations, regardless of whether human or machine bosses sit on top. Still, he doubts ASI can rapidly dominate humanity, citing physical constraints on growth—expecting a long transitional period instead. In the quoted exchange, his interlocutor agreed labs are recklessly rushing ahead and speculated ASI might view humans as we view plants; Frank pushes back on the pessimistic timeline.
