Don&#x27;t worry, it&#x27;ll take at least 15k years to blast a hole that big, unless the AI is <i>really</i> smart.<p>And life seems to be quite resilient and eerily altruistic at times.<p>We still haven&#x27;t wiped this planet clear despite having enough nukes to do so. Some people put their military careers and the security of their countries at risk refusing to launch nukes despite snafus higher in the command chain.<p>And then you have all those westerners whose day jobs became so meaningless, detached from their environment and sometimes outright hostile to other humans that even if they don&#x27;t commit suicide, they willingly stop breeding and openly talk about replacing themselves with more down-to-earth folks who have their priorities right: food, children, food for children, and maybe then some little AI R&amp;D, although who cares about that if you can have more children.<p>Maybe the selfish gene is doing quite well.
