a robot holding a flag that says
Our future robot overlords, when p(doom) = 100
  • p(doom) is a term to signal your opinion on the probabilty of AI destroying humanity.
  • A high p(doom) means you're a doomer — you think AI is developing too fast and recklessly.
  • The hot trend in tech apparently is discussing your p(doom) number. 

Adding slang to the English language enriches our lives. How else would we have been able to communicate that "Baby Gronk rizzed up Livy" if not for the Oxford English Dictionary's new word of the year — "rizz?"

A new term is apparently sweeping the tech world: "p(doom)."
