I’ve seen it. It seemingly ignores the possibility that humanity will not go extinct [EDIT: in the near future, possibly into the tens of megayears] but will also never reach a ‘posthuman state’ capable of doing arbitrary ancestor simulations.
I think “extinct before reaching a “posthuman” stage” covers that also.
