Strong start, but I make a rule of stopping at "intelligence explosion" as usual (see also: the rapture and the singularity). And sure, maybe sometime significantly later this century when/if we hit self-reproducing mechanical things in the real world (ya know, like the eukaryotes and the prokaryotes can), but no time soon.

But also, you could give civilization a bad day without it if some geopolitical auteur put a half-assed WOPR frontier model in charge of a nuclear arsenal.

But oh the pushback for not believing in a near-term robot apocalypse. Why is that?
