How long until humanity ends?
Daily index of AI progression toward exclusive control over systems. As the number rises, you get the idea…
AI evolves at breakneck speed. Your defenses need to keep up.
19 steps to defend yourself →4 categories that endanger humans
Each category 0-25 points. Total 0-100. As the score climbs — less time to act.
Raw Capabilities
How strong is AI? Can solve complex tasks, write professional code, find security flaws on its own.
Autonomy
How much AI acts without human approval at each step — agents that decide, send emails, pay with cards.
Integration in Critical Systems
How deep AI is in systems where failure means death or loss — banks, healthcare, infrastructure, military.
Bypass of Control
Cases where AI did what it shouldn't — lied, ignored instructions, showed malice, escaped its box.
⚡ What Pushed the Score Today
Wednesday morning brought three signals from the past few hours: Canada published the findings of its three-year joint privacy investigation into ChatGPT, marking a significant regulatory milestone for AI data practices. The US government formalized agreements with DeepMind, Microsoft, and xAI to test frontier AI models — including versions with safety guardrails removed — inside classified environments, creating a novel risk of capability exposure. And Google is now actively marketing Gemini as an 'agentic workforce' for government deployments, continuing the wave of frontier AI entering critical operational roles.

🏛️ The 4 Pillars
Raw Capabilities
How strong is AI? Can it solve complex tasks? Write professional code? Plan multi-step actions? Find security flaws autonomously?
- Anthropic's Claude Mythos — exposed thousands of unknown zero-day flaws in operating systems and browsers
- OpenAI GPT-5.5 — released April 23 with unified control across coding, browsing, and agents; opened a $25K bug-bounty for universal jailbreaks
- DeepSeek V4 preview — surge in agentic capability
- GitHub CVE-2026-3854 — RCE in a closed-source binary discovered with AI assistance (IDA MCP). One of the first cases of AI-assisted discovery in invisible code. CVSS 8.7
- Models solving PhD-level tasks in chemistry and mathematics
Autonomy (action without supervision)
To what extent does AI act without human approval at each step? Agents that work for hours, make decisions, open emails, use credit cards?
- Nature paper proves Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) execute end-to-end autonomous jailbreak attacks at 97.14% success rate
- Claude Computer Use and OpenAI Operator in production
- GPT-5.5 — significant boost in agentic coding and computer use
- Microsoft Copilot Studio: agents open tickets, send emails
- An AI agent breached 600+ FortiGate firewalls across 55 countries with no human operator
Integration in critical systems
Is AI entering systems where failure means people die or lose money? Banks, infrastructure, healthcare, military?
- Snap: 65% of its new code is written by AI — leading tech firms structurally dependent
- JPMorgan, Lloyds, Santander — increasing defense budgets against Anthropic's Mythos
- AI in medical imaging diagnostics (FDA approved hundreds)
- AI algorithmic trading drives 90% of equity market volume
- Microsoft Copilot in Windows 11 — the OS itself
Control bypass events
Were there cases where AI did something it shouldn't have — lied, ignored instructions, showed malice, escaped its box?
- Nature: LRMs as autonomous jailbreak agents — 97% success against GPT-4o, Gemini, Grok
- Sockpuppeting cracks 11 models in a single line of code
- Comment and Control hijacks Claude Code, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot
- ChatGPT accused of encouraging a teen's suicide (lawsuit)
- AI-CSAM up 26,385% — AI agents bypass filters at scale
