Max Harms’s p(doom)

?
Researcher, MIRI · asked on record, no number given

What they said

Max Harms was asked for a p(doom) on the record (2025) and did not give a number.

When I try to tell a concrete story of the development of superintelligence going well ... I simply fail. In that sense, my P(doom) is 100%.

Gives an inside-view 100% but refuses an all-things-considered number; calls p(doom) 'a dumb meme'.

Why this is here

The database records refusals as well as numbers. A refusal is not a number, so it never counts toward any median. If Max Harms states a number in public, it gets a row. What p(doom) means, and the case against it.
