The Evidence
Is Undeniable

We didn't want to believe it either. But when four independent lines of evidence all point to the same terrifying window...
You can't ignore what's staring you in the face.

It started with a simple question. Then one discovery led to another, until the pattern became impossible to ignore...

The Machines Speak

When AI predicts its own replacement

We asked the smartest AIs on Earth one simple question: "When will something smarter than you exist?" Their answers converged on a date that made our blood run cold.

What We Discovered:

Direct interrogation of 8+ frontier models
Consistent predictions despite different training
Cross-model validation reveals hidden consensus

The Unstoppable Curve

When math becomes destiny

Every 6 months, AI gets twice as powerful. It sounds abstract until you realize: we're 3 doublings away from something that makes GPT-4 look like a calculator.

What We Discovered:

Exponential compute growth outpacing Moore's Law
Algorithm efficiency multiplying raw power
Critical threshold calculations show collision course
6-month cycles

The Builders Are Worried

When creators fear their creation

The people building AGI are the same ones warning about it. When Hinton quits Google and Altman calls for global regulation, you listen.

What We Discovered:

50+ leading researchers surveyed anonymously
Predictions weighted by proven track record
Private conversations reveal deeper concerns

The Performance Wall

When impossible becomes inevitable

AI is solving problems we thought were decades away. Math olympiads, medical diagnoses, legal reasoningβ€”the remaining gaps are shrinking faster than anyone predicted.

What We Discovered:

100+ cognitive benchmarks tracked in real-time
Sudden capability jumps follow predictable patterns
Cross-domain emergence signals imminent breakthrough
