They did kill themselves in the process, repeatedly until they finally evolved resistance.

So whenever someone assumes that accelerationism will cause a single collapse and then we'll get Star Trek... Nope, we'll just keep rebuilding capitalism and collapsing until we actually evolve something better. Collapse won't teach us how to work together any faster than poison taught microbes how to breathe oxygen.

Maybe. Although it seems just as likely that when humans die off intelligence may not even be a genetic advantage for whatever comes next.
