The Google engineering fellow who recently resigned was key to the development of generative AI and chatbots; he now believes he underestimated the existential threat they pose, and once AI can create its own goals, humans won't be needed.

    Nobody should expect any particular species to stick around forever. There was always going to someday be something that replaces humans, by whatever definition of “human” and “replacement” you might be using.

    My main hope is just that whatever eventually replaces us is worthy of the title. And ideally has some fondness for their evolutionary ancestors.
