Blue, your perspective has some serious flaws and is quite ignorant of the way things actually are.
What you and a large majority of everyone else don't get is this,
AI does not need to become AGI to destroy us all. The minimal much easier to reach requirement it needs to do that is make it so people can't find jobs.
People will do the rest in accordance with fundamental societal mechanics that have been known for centuries.
Economies work in a loop. You trade time for production (labor) in the factor markets, and you store it in money, you use money to buy what you need (food).
Companies buy that labor to produce goods which they then go and sell to fulfill those basic needs.
What happens when basic needs cannot be met, because companies don't buy the labor, and government has a history over the past generation (which is commonly 20 years) of doing largely nothing.
When the people starve, there will be blood in the streets, and there are a lot more of them than there are people at the ideal corporation which would be 1 person at the top with robot slaves replacing everyone else.
The only solution would be a central structure that provided for basic needs without a market. This has been tried many times over the past 100 years, all of them failed (afaik). You run into what's known as the economic calculation problem (or debate) depending on where you look, and a whole host of other difficulties which have no solution.
It works for a time, then something unpredictable happens which causes shortages, then those shortages causes death on a massive scale. There's a lot of written history showing this.
