    Nuclear winter fell way back in the pack, but it’s catching up to Climate Change, AI, and biological weapons as humanity’s self inflicted doom.

    Damn, I was rooting for Skynet.

      I’d deploy skynet tomorrow if I could. At least there’s a chance we win and there’s few enough people afterwards. Plus it’d be some epic history. Way better than “so they were selfish dumb assholes and made their own planet uninhabitable?” If some other sentient race comes along.

      i mean, if we suffer a nuclear winter… it would probably solve the AI problem… the (current) climate change problem, and, uh, a lot of the other problems as we no longer care about shit like having TP on the shelves or what color the new car is gonna be.

      I almost wish for a nuclear winter. On account of patrolling the Mojave so much…
