Leaving Joe Rogan aside, I remember the cases of one Google employee who believed that their AI programs had reached sentience. So, yes.

Well, when the rich and powerful control everything, yes. But I don't think it's just humanity anymore, I think a lot of life will have to adapt to the destruction of the planet. And if they don't, they just die off.

Everything changes, the world turns over, everything is recycled. Including those who think themselves great or mighty or worth listening to. The world changes, climates change, species change, life goes on.
