What is this?

The short version

This is a playful toy, not a forecast, model, or measurement. It was inspired by an X post that asked someone to build “a stock ticker for the singularity.”

All milestones, weights, headlines, dates and the projected year are fiction. The index is a vibe. Please do not allocate a pension to it.

How the index works

Twelve invented AI milestones from 2020–2026 each carry a small weight. The weights add up to roughly 0.3200, which is the opening GAP reading. A little cosmetic drift keeps the feed alive; clicking a milestone chip nudges the number up with diminishing returns.

0.0000 is “useful tool.” 1.0000 is “singularity,” whatever that means. The projected year simply extends the current pace in a straight line, which is exactly the kind of overconfidence this toy is poking fun at.

Things you can do

Pause or resume the live drift with the Pause button.
Click any milestone chip to bump the index and flash the tape.
Toggle the CRT scanlines if you want a calmer screen.
Watch the fictional headlines scroll along the bottom.
