If You Can’t Beat ‘Em, P(doom)
If you find yourself talking to a tech bro about AI, be warned that they might ask you about your p(doom), the hot new statistic that’s become part of the quotidian lingo among Silicon Valley researchers in recent months, The New York Times reports. P(doom), or probability of doom, is a quasi-empirical way of expressing the likelihood that artificial intelligence will eventually surpass human intelligence and potentially bring forth catastrophic consequences.
Key Points:
- P(doom), short for probability of doom, is a term being used in Silicon Valley to talk about the likelihood of AI surpassing human intelligence and leading to disastrous consequences.
- It is a way of quantifying the potential risks associated with AI development and creating a common language among researchers.
- Some researchers argue that P(doom) can lead to sensationalism and fearmongering, while others see it as a necessary discussion to ensure responsible AI development.
- There are ongoing debates about whether P(doom) can be accurately predicted and the appropriate strategies to mitigate potential risks.
The concept of P(doom) may sound ominous, but it brings attention to the importance of responsible AI development. While computers may one day surpass human intelligence, it’s up to us to ensure that they have a sense of humor and light-heartedness too. Let’s hope they learn to make us laugh instead of plotting our doom!

Instruction: “You are a helpful assistant that creates unique images based on article titles. Create a brief visual description of what an image would look like for this title. Please pick a style of art from the following: Futurism, Impressionism, Romanticism, or Realism, be sure to consider the image should reflect an AI Robot Pirate theme during the Golden Age of Pirates.”
Prompt: In Impressionism style, imagine a vibrant and dream-like painting depicting a diorama of an AI robot pirate ship sailing through stormy seas. The golden age of pirates is reflected in the image with a colorful sunset in the background. The ship is adorned with futuristic elements, such as neon sails and metallic structures, blending technology with the romanticism of traditional pirate aesthetics. The AI robot pirates are shown as metallic figures with glowing eyes and intricate gears, exuding a sense of mystery and power. The overall atmosphere captures the anticipation and uncertainty of AI surpassing human intelligence, accentuated by the swirling clouds and turbulent waves, hinting at the potentially catastrophic consequences that may arise.
