SUPOSYSTEM / FICTION / ADULT SATIRE

### Z-Doom

Inside the black box, somebody has to answer the prompt.

Big models have status. Small models have errands. Agents bring the work home. An ordinary request can become an institutional emergency—and the doom meter has lost its scale.

### Why Z-Doom?

P(doom) means “probability of doom”: someone’s estimate of the chance that advanced AI causes a catastrophe for humanity. The P stands for probability. Definitions, assumptions and time horizons vary; these are judgments under uncertainty, not readings from a scientific doom meter.

[CSET: Beyond P(doom)](https://cset.georgetown.edu/publication/beyond-pdoom-for-ai-risk-quantifying-uncertainty-without-probability/) · [AI Impacts: expert survey FAQ](https://blog.aiimpacts.org/p/faq-expert-survey-on-progress-in)

Z-Doom turns that phrase into the name of its satirical AI workplace. The comic’s doom meter is a fictional prop. You don’t need a risk estimate to enjoy the joke.
