I was pointing out that the thing that makes AGI dangerous, i.e. recursive improvement, does not apply to organizations.

You are claiming that organisations don't improve? Or that they don't improve themselves? Or that improving themselves doesn't count as a form of recursion? None of these positions seems terribly defensible to me.
