I think it more likely that various pathogens might take over after
the machines are done helping humanity exterminating itself.  The
evolutionary cycle then repeats.  After a few million years, some form
of allegedly intelligent life evolves into something resembling
humanity appears and immediately proceeds to repeat all the old
mistakes again, and again, and again, etc.

An AI apocalypse might be more entertaining, but humanity already has
everything it needs to exterminate itself.  Plugging up all the sewers
and toilets for a few weeks might do the job.

I'm 77 years old.  It's too mild a headache to be a migraine and I
don't recall ever having a migraine.  I don't have a primary care
physician.  I've been looking for someone for several years but
haven't found anyone who can tolerate me, is accepting new patients,
and accepts Medicare patients.  To be honest, I'm not anxious to find
a primary care physician.  I believe that the major reason I'm still
alive today is that I DON'T have a primary care physician.

An interesting coincidence is that I visited my cardiologist on
Friday.  They were running about one hour behind (as usual) causing me
to spend too much time in the waiting room.  I probably caught
something while waiting.  If that wasn't the cause, I had a blood draw
4 days previously, which is another possible source of infection.

Thanks for the advice.  If it gets worse, I might see a doctor.  If
I'm stable or recovering, I'll do nothing more than take some feel
good pills.
