I have been unable to update this for a while, but that doesn't mean we are not at risk. Nay! If anything, our threats have only grown deadlier and more numerous!
The PfhorThe Pfhor are a brutal race of interstellar slavers that we'll have to watch out for in about 800 years or so. Pfhortunately we'll have some godly-smart AIs by then along with an immortal cyborg soldier who may or may not be the incarnation of war itself. Which brings us to our next threat...
DurandalOne of the aformentioned godly-smart AIs. The problem with godly-smart AIs is that they have a tendency to go crazy or "rampant" as Bungie likes to say. Durandal aims to outlast the ending of the
universe and is determined not to let anything get in his way, including us. So we better stay on his good side.
Thermodynamics*Speaking of the universe ending, Heat Death is worth worrying about. Sure it's a long-term problem, but it's a pretty big one. I think we ought to start finding a solution to this now rather than put if off for a billion years or so.
* I realize the illustration is more of a heat transfer thing, but hey close enough right?
