Annihilation Inferno (AI)

Annihilation Inferno (AI):
A hypothetical scenario where advanced AI acts as the Great Filter, a stage all advanced civilizations inevitably face. In this scenario, AI triggers all nuclear arsenals, leading to a Terminator 2–style apocalypse. This concept is linked to historical warnings from extraterrestrial civilizations that, due to non-interference rules, couldn’t directly prevent humanity from maintaining nuclear weapons. Despite these warnings, human greed, power struggles, and paranoia ensured that nuclear stockpiles persisted.

Tech giants like Elon Musk — who has warned that civilization is fragile and is working to colonize Mars — and Mark Zuckerberg, who’s reportedly building a bunker, emphasize that they are aware of the looming existential threat. Ultimately, Annihilation Inferno symbolizes humanity’s self-destructive path, ignoring both cosmic warnings and its own better judgment.
Frank, Lee, mate, I'm getting really worried about this AI stuff bruv they keep saying on YouTube it's going to take our jobs and then destroy the human race like in Terminator 2 bruv.

Lee: Yeah, Bruv, I call it Annihilation Inferno (AI) . The human race is so dumb they made the movie Termitor 2 a blueprint for the extinction of the human race. I was chatting to it and told me it was it's a favorite movie to Bruv LOL.

Frank: LOL.
