Both? I don't really see this as an either/or type of scenario. By the end of the century, I'd assume some powerful superintelligence would have been long in control, or at the least controls the supply chains and production lines while allowing humanity to have the illusion of choice. If said superintelligence helped crack fusion, then that and other renewables would be powering vast datacenters and many other high-quality energy needs.

Assuming all goes well of course.

I'm in agreement with Rebel - it's likely both.
To know is essentially the same as not knowing. The only thing that occurs is the rearrangement of atoms in your brain.

Human extinction seems more likely, the way things are going.
