Its the antithesis of superrationality to presume that hypergamy will ever cease to exist, because a mix of R and K reproductive strategies is natures necessarily bottom-up mechanism for annealing resilency of the species.
Top-down organization and teachings can never be resilient and dynamically adaptive to the unpredictable multi-dimensional solution space of our universe, unless the universe becomes computable which would thus require everything to be knowable a priori, which is the same as saying that nothing could exist. For all information to travel instantly to top-down controllers would require the speed-of-light to be not quantized, thus the past and future light cones of relativity would collapse into undifferentiated. Our very existence requires friction so that information is relativistic.
Top-down systems can never be resilent (i.e. survive long-term), because they cant adapt decentralized with low capital decentralized inputs. This is the fundamental reason that Kurzweil and his Singularity is entirely impossible. How can an AI which depends on a few dozen chip fabs be any where near as resilient as natures decentralized procreation via zillions of daily mutations and chemical reactions. Feeding entropy into AI is a top-down centralized process, even if the AI is feeding itself entropy, the limiting factor is the lack of non-deterministic (i.e. randomly bottom-up) chaos (i.e. Butterfly Effect) in the initial procreation conditions.
In short, AI can only become truly alive if it becomes imperfect and randomized in its instantiation of itself, in which case its computational superiority will just be tool and implausible to attain universal dominance. Nature abhors a (n entropic) vacuum and thus can never be universally dominated by any given phenomenon. I had tried to explain this before:

The linked blog post makes clear that subjective self-aware consciousness is necessarily intrinsically embodied in-the-world and thus cannot be implemented in any AI separated by abstraction layers from grounded sensory experience.
The Singulartarians will respond that any AI passing the Turing Test by sufficiently emulating
primary consciousness may still enslave us, reducing our quibbling to mere distinction without functional difference.
That implies the winner of the NL/ML arms race is an empirical question which will be decided by facts on the ground, not
a priori theoretical speculation.
