Basically it's where the militaries of all nations turned to a.i. powered armies of machines. All controlled by a rich guy that accidentally patched the machine control software so it couldn't be accessed (no more human control) and then they destroyed everything.
From the wiki - the Old World was destroyed nearly a thousand years ago after Faro (rich guy company) lost control of its automated peacekeeper military robots. The robots, which could self-replicate and consume biomass, overran the planet and engulfed the biosphere, stripping Earth of life.
I would also say anyone should check out тАЬFriendship Is OptimalтАЭ for a plausible scenario of an AI researcher making the best of a world where the AI takeover is inevitable.

As my mother used to say, never let a rich guy control your killer bots.
