13 September 2026 - human extinction

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

AI might render humanity extinct by 2030? I don't know whether that's delusional or intentionally alarmist, but humanity is not that easy to wipe out. Plenty of people, including millions of farmers, have the expertise to survive from zero. If you're only worried about the collapse of civilization, that's easier. We could have done that decades ago with a good old fashioned global nuclear war.
