what do they mean longeterm?

500 years?

1000 years?

10,000 years?

100,000 years?

I suppose I can see Humanity still being around 1,000 years from now, but I don't know if we we will become a vastly superior technologically civilization compared to what we have now, or if things won't change much.

Humanity being around 10,000 years from now is a bit of a strech.

As soon as we somewhat colonize the solar system our long term survival is practically guarantied minus some extremely unlikely event or the universe being a dark forest. So millions or even billions of years is not improbable if we colonize the system.

Do you mean humanity evolved into something that isn't human within 10k years? Or humanity being extinct?

I use a 10^12 years longtermism horizon, thus I'm nihilist.

The Singularity Believes in 99% of Humanity the ability to become One With It.
