The Stakes Liran Shapira, host of Doom Debates, argues that society is underestimating just how quickly superintelligent AI could arrive and how radically it could reshape power. He puts his “P(doom)” at around 50% by 2050—doom meaning not discomfort or dystopia, but the permanent destruction of nearly all of humanity. That framing matters.
