Another kind of Doomsday happened instead: the Outlook Outage, blocking companies on a global scale by sending/receiving emails

What about the Claude outage though? Millions wept.

Not as bad as when Character.ai changed its models / went under though. I hope the people that developed parasocial relationships with LLMs ended up alright.

The fact that they arrived at a Friday the 13th as doomsday tells me there was likely some bias and possibly magical thinking in there, like the universe is somehow poetic.

You are correct but there is probably a very simple explanation: the author of the paper was born on a Friday 13. Source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinz_von_Foerster So a pun.
