There's another aspect to meatspace, which is asymmetric loyalty.
Most corporations are single-minded AI's with strictly zero loyalty to any worker without title =~ /^C..$/. The instant some spreadsheet cell turns yellow upstairs, you're out.
Due to the human firmware drive of expected reciprocity, people often forget this and make enormous sacrifices for $work, uprooting their families, working long hours, missing family events, etc. When making this sacrifice of loyalty, they expect the AI to reciprocate in kind with loyalty but THE AI DOES NOT HAVE THAT FEELING.
I recently joined a hot fintech only to have several offices closed and people sacked 5 months later, in order to keep an IPO route looking shiny (it wasn't).
My advice to juniors is do not sacrifice for that machine.
