About & Methodology

How we measure how cooked humanity is.

What is this?

Are We Cooked? is a daily-updated dashboard that tracks the pace and impact of AI progress across multiple dimensions. It aggregates public data across multiple dimensions — from hard data like ArXiv papers and benchmark scores, to vibe checks like the Doomer Ratio and Normie Awareness Index.

It aggregates data from 12 sources, feeds it to Claude for analysis, and generates composite scores.

Scoring System

Each sub-index is scored 0-100 by Claude based on that day's data. Scores map to threat levels:

0-19CHILLNormal AI progress, no concerning signals
20-39WARMINGNotable acceleration, early disruption
40-59TOASTYSignificant disruption underway
60-79CRISPYMajor disruption, rapid displacement
80-100FULLY COOKEDTransformative change, massive displacement
