If brain emulation precedes general AI by a lot then some uploads are much more likely to be in the winning coalition. Aron’s comment seems to refer to a case in which a variety of AIs are created, and the hope that the AIs would constrain each other in a way that was beneficial to us. It is in that scenario specifically that I doubt that humans (not uploads) would become part of the winning coalition.
