There's already been 4 extinction events, it's pretty safe to bet that it will happen again.

But they happen 50-100 million years between each other and usually take thousands of years to take full effect once they begin.

Even if technological singularity takes an extra 100-200 years to really happen, if any significant 'AI' is achieved, a lot could happen in a thousand years, let alone a million.



For what it's worth, your ability to post that is based on that they were actually near-extinction events.
