> Bureaucracy happens because I'm not sure that's a good description, either. Each bureaucracy has an "owner" - the person (or group of people) who decides how it should work. Bureaucracies that have an owner are highly functional, and we don't normally notice them. We notice, however, abandoned bureaucracies, where nobody even knows why and how this particular bureaucracy was designed and can't change it in response to the changing environment. That's where bureaucratic organizations start resembling kind of intelligent (yet stupid) organisms whose goals are not necessarily aligned with ours, but we have to live in the same world with them. It's a refreshing thought to think about organisations as living creatures with their own "brain" and agenda. We are kinda so used to living among them. Perhaps living alongside AGI systems would not be drastically different from this experience.
