Eliezer wrote a piece last year: "No Evolutions for Corporations ..."

that TGGP clued me in on in comments. It's an interesting piece, but it doesn't seem informed by especially deep deliberative thought on corporations (a sample of the rather shallow corporation-related analysis "But how much does the child of a corporation resemble its parents?  Much of the personality of a corporation derives from key officers, and CEOs cannot divide themselves by fission.")

I'd like to see Eliezer and some other thinkers take a more rigorous look at how corporations interact with people, with regard to being long term existential threats and/or capable of substrate jumping, in a more automated, b2b dominant future.
