A one-page editorial index that measures how close AI may be to a human point of no return.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-02 issue.

Field notes

The homepage reduces its argument to a displayed score of 23 on a 0–100 “Point-of-no-Return?? Index,” but provides no visible rubric for calculating that number. Its explanation relies on the Frankenstein analogy: a human-made creature becomes stronger, develops a will to survive, and turns against its creator. The page also attributes a containment-minded quotation to Jos Bunnik and routes readers toward a Substack for risk discussion and policy-oriented solutions.
