Dan Faggella: humanity may need radical augmentation to keep any control over AI future

- AI scholar Dan Faggella argues that what's changing isn't just business but the human condition and the entire regime of earth-life.
- Even if runaway AGI isn't imminent, human identity will shift radically as people bond with and identify with AIs; employability will depend on wielding many AIs and remain precarious.
- He calls for frank discussion of the stakes: humanity may need to radically augment or symbiose with AI to retain any causal purchase over the future.
