At this point, almost every kind of q about humanities future boils down to this: will we get to AI before everything goes to shit?

Interestingly after all the countless bullshit we have been through that eventually led up to this, they both seem to asymptotically approach the present at approx. the same rate.

I guess that is the nature of domains of intelligence/tech. Eventually you stumble upon a breakthrough that synergizes/captures all other previous domains.
