In their words

Anshu Sharma (Co-founder and CEO, Skyflow (data privacy for AI)) put their p(doom) at 90% (humans made irrelevant by AI), on X on Sep 13, 2026.

My p (doom) is 90% that AI will get powerful, dominate the economy and activity, and we will be infinitesimally so small with our cute little 8B living entities and $100T GDP while they are 800T agents and $1,000,000,000T GDP that it won’t be worth even thinking about us.

His doom is humans becoming economically negligible, not extinction; scope kept.

A p(doom) is a personal, subjective estimate of the probability that advanced AI ends in human extinction or a comparable, irreversible catastrophe. Scope and timeframe differ from person to person, so compare with care: why p(doom) numbers disagree.
