Good point. We provide the ecosystem and corporations are the parasite. Companies are doing lots of things no human could begin to imagine doing on his own. We can try resist the will of our employer but it may simply replace us. It is obvious who is wearing the pants.

Corporations aren't parasites. If you have to think of corporations as living entities, then humans are living in a symbiotic relationship with them: Humans provide them with labor, and in turn they provide products which are consumed by humans.

Increasingly is seems like corporations are providing products to other corporations, and the number of humans involves is dropping.
Thus the increasing divide between the 1% and the 99%, stock markets hitting all time highs, while ever more people worry about basic necessities and even the most basic employment.
It's the ecosystem that's doing the computation, not the virus.
From that POV we already have AGI. We're just not aware of it. And it's not particularly sentient yet.
