Everybody I know who understands both computers and organizations at say college level believes in some version of “corporations are AIs” at a fairly literal (< 50% metaphoric) level. But there’s no good essay on this idea.

The closest to it is Wigner’s “Unreasonable Effectiveness ...” because one must go further back than AI. Science works w math because it it’s the only tool to validate it. Same model for business and AI.

Yes. We’ve dealt with inhuman intelligences already. They are constituted by humans but they are not themselves human. This lens provides some comfort: it’s not entirely new and not entirely savage. But AI provides a path to remove whatever restraints human cogs might impose.
