AI scholar Dan Faggella posts a bleak reflection on AGI: within 2 years, maybe 6-9 months, he expects to be "functionally useless," since AI will simulate a trillion smarter versions of him generating every idea he could ever have. He frames the coming struggle for relevance as "brutally hard and short-lived" — a raw, inside-the-field take on human displacement by AI.
