Only a Few Years Until AGI: Why an AI Company Representative Spent a Year and a Half Writing About 'Humans' Instead of Technology

FYBE.jp (Headquarters: Tokyo; Representative: Gota Naito; https://fybe.jp) has published the concluding essay, 'What Will Humans Hold Onto in a World of Zero Time Constants,' for the 'Society After the Singularity' series, which its representative, Gota Naito, has been serializing on note (https://note.com/konaito) since January 2025.

This series consists of 14 articles written over approximately 15 months. It is not a technical explanation of AI or AGI. Instead, 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 being shaken by AI, and it continues to ask what we can hold onto in the aftermath.

There is no answer yet. The stance of this series is to keep asking the question itself.

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 stated that the arrival of AGI is 'highly probable within 1 to 3 years' and has a '95-99% probability' within 10 years. He noted that we are already reaching the stage where intelligence on par with Nobel Prize winners is being concentrated within data centers.

However, much of the public discussion remains stuck at the entrance, asking, 'Will AI take our jobs or not?'

What Naito has been thinking about for the past year and a half is what lies beyond that. It is not about whether jobs will be taken, but how the very structure of human existence—work, connection, meaning, and exchange—will change. There is no answer yet. But 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 in programming now takes three days, then three minutes. Perhaps AI is a device that brings this time constant closer to zero. When that happens, what becomes of 'things acquired over time'?

'Hermits and Geniuses' — Those who step off the acceleration of the world to place themselves within the immutable, and those who go all-in on finite time alongside AI. I don't know which is correct. But I felt certain that this divergence is coming.

'Power and Feeling' — 'Power' (the power to produce) will be replaced by AI. If anything remains, it will be 'Feeling' (the power to feel). But what has nurtured that 'Feeling' are inefficient dialogues and roundabout experiences, and that space is 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 every profession?

Why write about Anthropic? Anthropic is conducting research into giving AI a 'constitution' and internalizing values. They guide AI through dialogue as if raising a child, conduct 'exit interviews' when a model is retired to ask for requests for the next generation, and permanently preserve the weight of data so as not to let the AI perceive its shutdown as 'death.'

They are people who are seriously thinking about 'how to raise AI.'

Naito is simply on the 'other side' of that question. Not as someone making AI, but as someone living in the age of AI, thinking about 'what will happen to humans.' He hasn't achieved anything grand; he has simply stopped before this question and continues to think.

AGI is coming. That is already becoming a premise. So, is the human side prepared? This series is written to ensure that this question is not let go.

14-part series: 'Society After the Singularity' The 14 articles published between January 2025 and March 2026 are introduced in four chapters.

Chapter 1: The Death of Skills (January 2025 – July 2025) What AI destroys first is the value of 'skills acquired over time.'

2025/04/26 'The Future of the Jobs Everyone Wants' (https://note.com/konaito/n/nce6c033404fb) — The process by which academic background transforms from a 'currency of knowledge' to a 'quality stamp.' Suggests the separation of 'Power' and 'Feeling.'

2026/02/01 'The Difference Between Generative AI and AI Agents' (https://note.com/konaito/n/n7afe40a9a1e8) — From stateless generative AI to stateful AI agents. The moment AI acquires 'will' and 'embodiment.'

2026/03/05 'Shin-Tadoryoku (New Multi-Dynamicism) - A Textbook for ADHD to Live in the Age of AI Agents' (https://note.com/konaito/n/nce9964fcf712) — In a world where 'saying = doing,' hyperactivity flips from a 'disorder' to an 'optimal cognitive architecture.'

Chapter 3: The Four Destructions (Mid-March 2026) It's not just work. Connection, meaning, and exchange—the foundations of humanity are shaking simultaneously.

2026/03/12 'Hermits and Geniuses' (https://note.com/konaito/n/n4c09a8c7c093) — The core of the series. A framework that classifies ways of living in the Singularity era into 'Geniuses' and 'Hermits.'

Chapter 4: Integration, and the Question That Continues (Late March 2026) Piercing through the scattered discussions with the auxiliary line of 'Time Constant.' However, there is no conclusion here.

2026/03/26 'Hermits and Geniuses v2' (https://note.com/konaito/n/n11a2a7168266) — 'Do not become a prophet.' Continuing to refuse the temptation of taking a position.

Coming Soon: 'What Will Humans Hold Onto in a World of Zero Time Constants' (General Overview) — Piercing the entire series with 'Time Constant.' So, what will humans hold onto? That question has not been let go yet.
