One of the arguments in favor of TeV scale SUSY breaking is that it leads to the appropriate running of the gauge coupling strengths leading to grand unification, i.e. $k_Y = \frac{5}{3}$ instead of $k_Y = \frac{4}{3}$. With the LHC ruling out TeV scale SUSY breaking, what is the current consensus on grand unification? I know it's always possible to restore grand unification if you really insist upon it with contrived mechanisms like split SUSY, brane worlds with fine-tuned couplings, exotic fields, etc. but what would you say the current Bayesian posterior probability for grand unification is right now? How much would you be willing to bet on it? Isn't it kind of suspicious we've never detected proton decay or magnetic monopoles so far? The doublet-triplet splitting problem also makes you wonder...
