How much this result improves his outlook, we don't know, but he previously put our chance of extinction at over 95%: https://pauseai.info/pdoom

These guys and their black hole harvesting dreams always sound way too optimistic to me.

Humanity has a 100% chance of going extinct. Take it or leave it.

It'd be nice if it weren't in the next decade though.
