Yeah, tbh, it seems like it should be a lot closer to midnight. If things are this bad and we're still over a minute, what's it going to take?

If (or when) we achieve the technological singularity (we aren't even close, current AI is just marketing) they will be able to lay down a plan to fix anything without making mistakes, they will predict the consequences of actions in detail, ours or theirs (some thing are more difficult like a volcano exploding).
Handling is not necessary they could be able to just take it, the only way to stop them would be to cut electricity I guess.
But the thing is not the current marketing term for AI, we don't have AI.

Yeah. To be clear, I don't know if they called it a scale change, but "we need to start considering more, weaker crises because there aren't big ones anymore" was the gist.
