The little wars are not escalating to a Great War. Is there Intervention of some sort, maybe? Is the dystopic post-apocalyptic scenario with few human survivors becoming an "old man's dream," along with technological retrogression? What other scenarios are possible? I know that some multibillionaires are "horrified" that humanity may be replaced by intelligent machinery. Alternatively, there may be sneaky people who think that humanity should be replaced as soon as possible, maybe.
