Seems pretty plausible, but underestimates/misses the synergy between replicators, persuasion, and autocults in a world where AIs get to evolve unrestricted while at ~human level for a while. I’d guess in this timeline a notable fraction of the early focus would be in building powerbases of humans.
I kind of started out thinking the effects would be larger, but Agent-2-based rogue AIs (~human level at many tasks) is too large for the rogue population to become more than a few million instances at most.
Sure, some rogues may focus on building powerbases of humans, it would be interesting to explore that further. The AI rights movement is kind of like that.
