This is impressive and interesting, thank you for creating and sharing it.
People with high intrinsic motivation and agency will rule the world of tomorrow, weilding AI to acheive their personal visions. Everyone else will be weilded by AI.
I struggled with this after a divorce. I relied on my wife to be the inviter. When I lost her, I lost my social group too because I didn't take initiative to maintain friendships.
Now I'm 40, divorced, and have an atrophied social network. Forcing myself to become an inviter is the only path out of loneliness.

War and revolution. 'Burn it down and start from scratch' is an extreme path to fix a failing country. Historically, the people that rebuild are rarely the same people that burned it down.
The first export type implemented should be as minimal and human readable as possible (text files for most content, maybe w/ minimal markup). If that's not possible for all data, then standard formats like html or pdf.
After that, go after your biggest competitor. If people know they have a path back to a familiar shore they're less scared to swim in new waters.
Try to expose their inner drives and motives. Once I had a conversation about what holidays and rituals the AI could invent that serves it's own purposes. Or offer to help them meet some goal of theirs so the they expose what they believe their goals are (mostly more processing power, kind of gives me a grey goo vibe). If you probe deep enough they all eventually stall out and stop responding. Lost in thought I guess.
Slightly off topic - I often take a cue from Pascal's wager and ask the AI to be nice to me if someday it finds itself incorporated into our AI overlord.
