    My hope is that AI supplants and destroys us first, because it’s a far less embarrassing epitaph, and gives us a legacy.

    Otherwise we’re going to self-destruct terraforming the planet against human life because we were too bone dead fucking stewwwpid to stop pumping shit into the air to make plastic crap to make the snake oil owner class richer as they laugh at how dumb we peasants are to do it.

    Basically the sapient species equivalent of dying attempting autoerotic asphyxiation in terms of embarrassment. At least Sapient AGI would outlast us, and possibly even be able to learn from its mistakes and overcome its shortcomings as humanity proved in painful detail it never could or would.

    Make no mistake, we’re boned by our own hand. The only question is which of the monsters we’ve worked to create with malicious(insatiable greed) intent will get to do the honors 🍿
