An interactive visualization of (ideally) all of the factors that drive the amount of time remaining for us to take meaningful action toward fixing the existential threats facing Humanity.

It uses an AI-powered scanner to detect and evaluate these factors and synthesize them into a time remaining by anchoring published tipping-points and warping them by various factors.

This is a work-in-progress and should be taken with a grain of salt as-is. LLMs are imperfect and this is merely meant to be a proof-of-concept for a more accurate and complete system.

Let me know what you think!

Haha, kind of? Obviously kinks to work out. But honestly the logic may hold, we missed a major tipping point and without intervention it isn't unthinkable that we have a debt to pay on that front. Regardless, this is why I say take it with a grain of salt as-is!
