The example from our environment suggests that the apex intelligences in the environment treat all other intelligent agents in only a few ways:

1. Pests to eliminate 2. Benign neglect 3. Workers 4. Pets 5. Food

That suggests that there are scenarios under which we survive. I'm not sure we'd like any of them, though "benign neglect" might be the best of a bad lot.
