It looks to me like there’s a continuum within organizations as to whether they do most of their information processing using hardware or wetware.
I acknowledge that improvements in machine intelligence may shift the burden of things to machines.
But I don’t think that changes the fact that many organizations already are superintelligences, and are in the process of cognitively enhancing themselves.
I guess I’d argue that organizations, in pursuit of cognitive enhancement, would coordinate their human and machine subsystems as efficiently as possible. There are certainly cases where specialists are taken care of by their organizations (ever visited a Google office, for example?). While there may be overlap in skills, there’s also lots of heterogeneity in society that reflects, at least in part, economic constraints.
