tired: p(doom) wired: p(Bond Villain)

I'm coining a piece of AI safety terminology that I'd like to refer to as the Bond Villain problem. As a field, AI safety heavily leverages sci-fi pretty heavily, so I figure this should be fine.

Two important clarifications: - obviously p(Bond Villain) is 1, the only question is how ludicrous their Bond Villain Crime is and whether we as a society act during their Bond Villain Monologue; and - p(doom) was always a “smartism shibboleth“ aka pretentious bullshit bsky.app/profile/adva...

Makes it seem like they've done the math...but there's no math that can accurately capture something like that so it's smartism shibboleth I don't have any patience for it. Yall look fucking stupid

Not the least bit surprising but still extremely grim to read. time.com/article/2026...
