Whatever made that crater was an ELE. Bigger than Chicxulub.

We have plenty of great filters to navigate:

We end war, or we die.

We restore the atmosphere and rebuild global ecology, or we die.

We end stratified society and power disparity, or we die.

Where are all the aliens? Fermi asked. The first question is, how do we navigate our way to becoming a space-faring, world colonizing species, ourselves? It's turning out to be pretty difficult for the common hominid.

Not to mention skynet. It always bothers me when people leave AI out of lists of x-risks. I guess it's because a popular sci-fi movie predicted it would happen, so nobody takes it seriously. Or perhaps it's just because AI is so unpopular now, nobody wants to devote any time to thinking about the ramifications of it becoming smarter.

Courtesy of XKCD, long before we have to contend with unfriendly AI (we have committees of AI-techs working on this problem already) we'll have to contend with someone like Musk or Bezos determined to own everything and capable of creating an AI-controlled army of killer robots.

We're not sure how rogue AI is going to manifest. We are sure rogue power-seeking humans exist all the time, and positions of power are commonly filled by them. (That's the primary argument for election by sortition, or by lottery.)
