Why Bayesian rather than absolute? Absolute claims hide uncertainty and make new evidence difficult to incorporate. Bayesian inference keeps confidence proportional to the evidence, respects base rates, and makes each update visible without pretending that a probability is proof.

P(H|E) = P(E|H)P(H) / [P(E|H)P(H) + P(E|not H)P(not H)]. Inputs are editable assumptions informed by trend proxies, not measured probabilities of singularity.

* METR, May 2026: approximately 17-hour P50 task horizon; measurements above 16 hours are marked unreliable. The dashed path extrapolates a historical trend and is not a date prediction. RE-Bench finds agents strong at short AI R&D budgets while humans retain an advantage at longer budgets. Sources: METR Time Horizons · RE-Bench.
