05 On the record
What AI leaders have said.
Dated statements from lab leaders and researchers, each linked to where they said it. We quote them. We don't make predictions of our own.
Wrote that it is possible we will have superintelligence “in a few thousand days”
Wrote that powerful AI, smarter than a Nobel winner in most fields, “could come as early as 2026” though it could also take much longer.
Said AI that matches or beats humans at any task will start to emerge in the next five to ten years.
Put the chance of AI wiping out humanity within the next 30 years at 10 to 20 percent.
Signed a one-line statement that mitigating “the risk of extinction from AI” should be a global priority, alongside pandemics and nuclear war.

When these go red
The Offline Brain still opens.
Your own AI, Wikipedia, WikiMed and US mapsNZ maps, on your own laptop. It never checks a status page, because it doesn't need one.
How this works
A small job reads each source every 10 minutes and saves the result; this page shows the last read and its time. If a source can't be read, its tile says "feed unavailable", never zero. Sources: OpenAI, Anthropic, Cloudflare and GitHub status pages (Atlassian Statuspage), Google Cloud Service Health, the AWS Health feed, IODA (Georgia Tech) and the AI Incident Database. Names are used to identify services only. This is not an official alert service. In an emergency call your local emergency number (111 in New Zealand, 911 in the US); for civil defence updates in NZ see civildefence.govt.nz.
