I'm not sure we can actually support 8 billion people's food production and distribution logistics without CPU's anymore.


Whatever makes us forget CPUs will make there be less than 8 billion people I'm sure.


Yep. The hard way.


You don’t think we could do it with human computers?

As long as the algorithmic complexity of food logistics is O(n) or better with respect to population size, I guess.


No, but that's hardly the same as suggesting humanity would die off. We'd adapt, just at a much smaller scale.
