Reacting to a post arguing doom-mongers should put money behind their claims, Rob LeClerc proposes a site where Anthropic/OpenAI employees can wager their equity on their own p(doom) scenarios. He'd take the other side—not on human extinction, but on a smaller yet still catastrophic 0.1% death toll—while quipping that he doubts there would be many takers. The thread continues AI circles' debate over holding doomers accountable with real bets.
