FWIW I don’t think Agent-5 needs to be vastly superhuman at politics to succeed in this scenario, merely top-human level. Analogy: A single humanoid robot might need to be vastly superhuman at fighting to take out the entire US army in a land battle. But a million humanoid robots could probably do it if they were merely expert at fighting. Agent-5 isn’t a single agent, it’s a collective of millions.

Something close to this might be a big reason why Amdahl’s law/parallelization bottlenecks on the software singularity might not matter, because the millions of AIs are much, much closer to one single AI doing deep serial research than it is to an entire human field with thousands or millions of people.
