I agree with this. (While noting that some forms of scaffolding will work noticeably better with humans than others will, so there are still capabilities boosts to be had for organizations of humans from e.g. procedures and best practices.)
But if our plan was to align organizations of some human-like entities that we were gradually training to be smarter, I’d be very into working out how to get value out of them by putting them into organizations during the training process, as I expect we’d learn important things about organizational design in the process (and this would better position us to ensure that the eventual organizations were pretty safe).
