A Few Years Until AGI — Why an AI Company CEO Wrote About 'Humans' Instead of Technology for a Year and a Half
Gota Naito, CEO of FYBE.jp, has published a comprehensive essay summarizing his 15-month series on the 'Post-Singularity Society'. It explores profound philosophical questions about human existence, work, and meaning in a world where AI reduces the time to learn skills to zero.

FYBE.jp LLC (Headquarters: Tokyo, Representative: Gota Naito, https://fybe.jp ) has published the general essay "What Do Humans Hold Onto in a World with a Time Constant of Zero", concluding the "Society After Singularity" series serialized by representative Gota Naito on note ( https://note.com/konaito ) since January 2025.
This series consists of 14 articles written over a period of about 1 year and 3 months. It is not a technical explanation of AI or AGI. It is a series that depicts the structure in which the four foundations that have supported human existence—"work", "connection", "meaning", and "exchange"—are simultaneously shaken by AI, and continues to ask what we can hold onto beyond that.
The answer has not yet emerged. The posture of this series is the act of continuing to ask questions.
## AGI is Not a "Future That Will Come Someday"
In his 20,000-word essay "The Adolescence of Technology" published in February 2026, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei states that the arrival of AGI has a "high probability within 1 to 3 years" and a "95 to 99% probability within 10 years." We are already approaching the stage where Nobel laureate-level intelligence is concentrated in data centers.
However, much of the public debate remains at the entry point of "whether or not AI will take our jobs."
What Naito has been thinking about for the past year and a half is what lies beyond that. Not whether jobs will be taken away, but how the very structure of human existence—work, connection, meaning, and exchange—will change. The answer has not yet emerged. But he didn't want to stop thinking.
## Four Auxiliary Lines Born While Thinking
As the series progressed, four phrases emerged as tools for thinking.
"Time Constant" — The time it takes to acquire a skill. What used to take 3 years for programming becomes 3 days, then 3 minutes. Perhaps AI is a device that brings this time constant closer to zero. When that happens, what becomes of "things acquired over time"?
"Hermit and Genius" — Those who step off the acceleration of the world and place themselves in immutable things, versus those who bet everything on limited time alongside AI. I don't know which is correct. But I was certain that this divergence would come.
"Power and Sense" — "Power" (the power to produce) will be replaced by AI. If anything remains, it will be "Sense" (the ability to feel). However, the places that have nurtured this "sense"—inefficient dialogues and roundabout experiences—are now closing.
"BC/AC" — Before Claude Code / After Claude Code. Starting from the moment the act of writing code changed, won't the same thing happen in all professions?
