Plenty of creatures have sticks. We’re monkies with fire, nothing else has that.

They can’t make it themselves. Little fire cucks. That’s what made us really pop off. 14 billion years and only planetary scale forces could do that and then boom, some monkeys figure out if you hit two of the right rocks together in just the right way you can start fire anywhere anytime.

Careful. The one with a stick can ride it’s bicycle with no handlebars.

The AI will spread solar cells everywhere. Not much energy left for anything but some algaes.

Long term? The ecosystem. If we don’t change course, at some point the species that goes extinct is us, and nature is going to recover. Life has survived much worse than what we can do.

The great dying is a great example of this! 96% marine life dead and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species dead. Planet came back no issues.
