I liked the “we don’t trade with ants” post, but I think it misses an additional reason why we would be near useless for superhuman AGI even if we can communicate with them: We would be so slow as compared to them that in their terms we would take forever to understand and do what they would want from us, so that it would still be more efficient to just move us out of the way instead of telling us to move out of the way and then wait until we get it and do it in slo-mo.
