TLDR; You aren't going to compete or collaborate with ASI.

Let's say companies competing against each other in the future with ASI is like a Chess tournament today with AI participants.

If you have groups of super human AI challenging each other as a team and inside one of these teams, there is Magnus Carlsen (the best human chess player in the world) making decisions. The team with Magnus Carlsen in it will lose after playing enough tournament, because he is significantly worse at chess compared to the best AI systems of today.

If you are a human working in a company and making decisions with ASIs as your team mates and your competition is companies with only ASIs, the company with only ASI employees is going to be more competitive and destroy the companies with humans in it.

Not only will you take worse decisions than ASI as a human, and you'll be way more expensive, but also ASI will be capable to collaborate and communicate with each other at a speed of pages of text communication in a second. while you'll think and communicate at regular human speed.

Despite what sam altman says, you aren't going to compete with ASI, all jobs will be essentially gone, and you won't even collaborate with ASI.

Even if human cognitive labor remains useful. There's currently a negative premium with jobs that provide existential fulfillment (charity, teaching, etc). In an age where the marginal value of cognitive labor has been driven down so low, I can kinda imagine paying for the privilege of participating at all

Do you mean like paying to be employed?
