cocktailpeanut quipped that the last advantage of a high IQ is realizing before everyone else that IQ itself is becoming a commodity — and killing your own genius ego. Borrowing a Nolan-style line, he wrote: "You either die a genius, or you live long enough to see yourself become average." A witty take on how fast model capabilities are eroding the premium on individual intelligence.
