Oh, artificial intelligence. Of all of the future outcomes, I probably put the most weight into the robot apocalypse. I figure, even if the planet starts going downhill any faster, we’d figure it out. Using robots and machines. If a meteor the size of Texas decides to plummet to Earth? Drone strikes.
But I have a feeling that it won’t be a war. I figure in probably less than 100 years, we’ll all opt-in to The Matrix a la something similar to Ready Player One.
People already trust memes on Facebook more than true news sources. It’s just a matter of time before artificial intelligence gives way to real intelligence.
No matter what your favorite apocalyptic vision, make sure you’re building up your feet callouses.
What’s your preferred apocalypse scenario?

I think a Dinopocalypse would be fun, but only because I enjoy dinosaurs. I might enjoy them less when they’re killing everyone, but hey, what you gonna do?
That seems like it would be interesting!
