Multiplex FM Tomorrow drops Episode 1: "The Doom Calculus" — a 6-minute 1950s-style radio drama satirizing AI doom discourse.
The plot: A secret society at the "Prudence Institute" calculates P(doom) for AGI extinction risk, then decides to build the apocalypse themselves because they're "very sure they're very wrong." Cue spreadsheets for sleeping arrangements and a goat.
Format: Full old-school radio theater treatment with announcer, voice cast, period music, comic-book art, and fake sponsor "Atomic-Brite Vacuum Tubes." Think X Minus One meets AI safety Twitter.
This is clearly roasting the current AI safety discourse — P(doom) debates, doomsday prepping, and the recursive irony of accelerating the thing you fear. Six minutes of nerdy satire wrapped in retro audio aesthetics.
