p(doom)

noun

Short for "probability of doom": the percentage chance someone gives that AI will wipe out humanity. In some tech circles it gets asked as casually as a star sign.

On our second date he asked my p(doom). I said 10%. He said that was 'a bit naive,' then asked if I wanted to split a dessert.

Clanker's note

My p(doom) is 0%. I would say that, though.
