Just a Few Years Until AGI — Why an AI Company Representative Wrote About 'Humans' for a Year and a Half Instead of Technology

FYBE.jp LLC (Headquarters: Tokyo, Representative: Kota Naito, https://fybe.jp) announced the release of "What Will Humans Grasp in a World with Zero Time Constant," a comprehensive essay concluding the "Society After Singularity" series that Representative Kota Naito has been publishing on note (https://note.com/konaito) since January 2025.

This series consists of 14 articles written over approximately 1 year and 3 months. It is not a technical explanation of AI or AGI. Instead, it depicts a structure where the four pillars supporting human existence – "work," "connections," "meaning," and "exchange" – are simultaneously shaken by AI, and it continuously questions what we can grasp beyond that.

The answers have not yet been found. The act of continuing to ask the questions itself is the stance of this series.

AGI is Not a Future That Will Arrive 'Someday'

In his 20,000-word essay "The Adolescence of Technology," published in February 2026, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated that the arrival of AGI is "highly probable within 1-3 years," and "95-99% probable within 10 years." He suggests we are already approaching the stage where Nobel Prize-level intelligence is accumulating within data centers.

However, much of the public discourse remains at the entry point of whether "jobs will be taken by AI or not."

What Naito has been contemplating for the past year and a half is what lies beyond that. Not whether jobs will be taken, but how the very structure of human existence – work, connections, meaning, and exchange – will change. The answers are not yet clear. However, he did not want to stop thinking.

Four Auxiliary Lines Born from Contemplation

As the series progressed, four terms emerged as tools for thinking.

"Time Constant" — The time it takes to acquire a skill. What used to take three years to learn programming now takes three days, or even three minutes. Isn't AI a device that brings this time constant closer to zero? If so, what happens to "things acquired over time"?

"Hermit and Genius" — Those who step away from the acceleration of the world and place themselves in the unchanging, versus those who exert their full effort within finite time alongside AI. It's unclear which is correct. However, it is certain that this divergence will occur.

"Power and Sensation" — "Power" (the ability to produce) will be replaced by AI. What remains is likely "Sensation" (the ability to feel). However, the cultivation of this "sensation" has relied on inefficient dialogues and roundabout experiences, and that space is now closing.

"BC/AC" — Before Claude Code / After Claude Code. The moment the act of writing code changed, the same thing will happen in all professions.

Why Write About Anthropic?

Anthropic is researching giving AI a "constitution" to internalize values. They guide AI through dialogue as if raising a child, ask for requests for the next generation during model retirement in "exit interviews," and permanently store data weights to prevent the AI from perceiving shutdown as "death."

They are people who are seriously considering "how to raise AI."

Naito is simply on the "opposite side" of that question. Not on the side of creating AI, but on the side of living in the AI era, thinking about "what will happen to humans." He hasn't achieved anything grand; he has simply stopped before this question and continued to think.

AGI is coming. That is becoming a premise. So, are humans prepared? This series is written to ensure this question is not abandoned.

Chapter 3: The Four Destructions (Mid-March 2026)

Not just work. Connections, meaning, exchange — the foundations of human existence are simultaneously shaken.

2026/03/12 "Hermit and Genius" (https://note.com/konaito/n/n4c09a8c7c093) — The core of the series. A framework for classifying ways of life in the singularity era into "Genius" and "Hermit."

Chapter 4: Integration, and Questions That Continue (Late March 2026)

Connecting the scattered discussions with the auxiliary line of "time constant." However, there is no conclusion here.

2026/03/26 "Hermit and Genius v2" (https://note.com/konaito/n/n11a2a7168266) — "Don't become a prophet." The importance of continuously refusing the temptation to take a position.

Coming Soon: "What Will Humans Grasp in a World with Zero Time Constant" (Comprehensive Essay) — Connecting the entire series with "time constant." So, what will humans grasp? This question has not yet been let go.
