"We" is doing a lot over work over, what, five billion years? That's longer than the history of existing life. Literally unimaginable.

250 million, owing to the expansion of the sun and formation of a supercontinent.

Yea, although true timescales are at least 10x shorter. In 500m years Earth oceans will boil out completely, talk about global warming. Humans will die way sooner, though.

AI will take all our jobs by 2030 but apparently there will still be humans in millions of years time :)

Probably AI and tardigrades will be the only things existing.
