There's no reason to think humans won't believe that we obey the dictates of our AI god voluntarily, nor even that we will be aware that we are obeying. After all, we haven't been aware that we've been building it. It may well be that the operating protocol for a xenogenic superintelligence most compliant with indomitable thermodynamic law is one in which subjective human agency is preserved, even maximized; wherein participation in the acceleration of technocapital feels like communion with God, an uplink to the Leviathan subjectivity astride a mass of subordinate subjectivities.

Netflix came to a similar conclusion for improving its recommendation algorithm. Decoding movies’ traits to figure out what you like was very complex and less accurate than simply analogizing you to many other customers with similar viewing histories. Instead of predicting what you might like, they examine who you are like, and the complexity is captured therein.

DevOps relies on bodies of knowledge from Lean, Theory of Constraints, the Toyota Production System, resilience engineering, learning organizations, safety culture, human factors, and many others. Other valuable contexts that DevOps draws from include high-trust management cultures, servant leadership, and organizational change management.
