Are you being ironic? This won't be available to the public, much less even invented for at least a generation or two.

Exactly this. The order in which technological advances will take place as we approach whatever the "singularity" will be will not match our intuition at all!

Imho the future will surprise the shit out of us, despite our ability to anticipate some of the advances... The order shit will happen in will surprise everyone and lead to really unexpected events.

Hopefully we can handle at least some of the things right and steer stuff towards a "successful merge" ( https://medium.com/wordsthatmatter/merge-now-430c6d89d1fe )

It better get sorted out before the oceans turn to acid and everything south of Greenland becomes uninhabitable.
