No one's gonna solve anything. "Our" world is based on greedy morons concentrating power through hands of just morons who are happy to hit you with a stick. This system doesn't think about what "we" should or allowed to do, and no one's here is at the reasonable side of it either.

lest we run the very real risk of societal collapse or species extinction

Our part is here. To be replaced with machines if this AI thing isn't just a fart advertised as mining equipment, which it likely is. We run this risk, not they. People worked on their wealth, people can go f themselves now. They are fine with all that. Money (=more power) piles in either way.

No encouraging conclusion.

Thanks for the read. One could think that the answer is to simply stop being a part of it, but then again you're from the genus that outcompeted everyone else in staying alive. Nature is such a shitty joke by design, not sure how one is supposed to look at the hypothetical designer with warmth in their heart.

I read for such a long time, and I still couldn’t get through that, even though it never got boring.

I like that it ends with a reference to Kushiel and Elua though.

Fleshy meat sacks on a space rock eating one another alive and shitting them out on a march towards inevitable doom in the form of a (likely) painful and terrifying death is a genius design, no?

Don't think it's correct to blame the fact that AI acceleration is the only viable self-protecting policy on "greedy morons".

Natur is actually designed really well, it’s a just a shitty joke for our race and the ones who have to give way for nature to run its course.
