Your short timelines don't seem that short, and your long timelines seem absurdly long.

Mmm. I'm a bit confused about the short timelines: 50% by 2030 and 75% by 2030 seem pretty short to me.

I think the medium timelines I use has a pretty long tail, but the 75% by 2060 is pretty much exactly the Metaculus' community 75% by 2059.
