Which AI doom indexes can you compare?
Which AI doom indexes can you compare?
People searching for an “AI doom index” usually land on a judgement score, a countdown, or a DEFCON-shaped novelty page. SIREN answers a different question: how loud is AI activity right now, measured hourly from public data. This page puts that next to the rivals people actually type.
AI activity index today · SIREN → · state.json → · Scale runs 5 (quietest) to 1 (loudest). Tempo, not danger.
How do they compare side by side?
| Index | What it measures | Who sets it | Recomputable? |
|---|---|---|---|
| SIREN | How much is happening in AI (tempo across five pillars) | A published formula over public data, hourly | Yes — from the receipt and open code |
| DoomBench | A qualitative “doom index” from sourced evidence for and against an AI-takeover scenario | Their scoring rules over curated evidence items | No |
| Skynet Countdown | Estimated chance of AI control loss and an estimated AGI date, plus tagged news | Their risk and timeline model over breakthroughs and headlines | No |
| p(doom) clocks | One person’s (or a site’s) stated probability that AI ends badly, often as a clock | Whoever picks the number | No |
| PizzINT | A pizza-and-intel novelty index that borrows DEFCON and Doomsday Clock language in the title | Their site’s framing over pizza / intel metaphors — not a published AI-activity formula | No |
| Takeoff Tracker | A dashboard of AGI-adjacent signals — Metaculus-style timelines, AI stock moves, arena leaderboards, GPU power, datacentres, and collected p(doom) estimates | Their curated dashboard over public prediction markets, markets data and linked leaderboards | No |
Which rival should you pick?
SIREN vs DoomBench: which should you use?
Live AI Doom Index. A qualitative “doom index” from sourced evidence for and against an AI-takeover scenario. Not that we could find: we did not see published inputs that let a reader re-derive the score.
SIREN vs Skynet Countdown: which should you use?
AI risk predictor & AGI timeline tracker. Estimated chance of AI control loss and an estimated AGI date, plus tagged news. Not that we could find: the percentage and the date read as model outputs, and we did not see a published formula over open inputs.
SIREN vs p(doom) clocks: which should you use?
Probability-of-doom countdowns. One person’s (or a site’s) stated probability that AI ends badly, often as a clock. No: p(doom) is an opinion expressed as a percentage.
SIREN vs PizzINT: which should you use?
Pentagon Pizza Index with DEFCON / Doomsday Clock framing. A pizza-and-intel novelty index that borrows DEFCON and Doomsday Clock language in the title. Not as an AI activity count: the DEFCON/Doomsday language is brand hijack, and we did not see open inputs that recompute an AI tempo reading.
SIREN vs Takeoff Tracker: which should you use?
AGI metrics dashboard (timelines, stocks, leaderboards, p(doom) estimates). A dashboard of AGI-adjacent signals — Metaculus-style timelines, AI stock moves, arena leaderboards, GPU power, datacentres, and collected p(doom) estimates. Not as a single activity reading: the page aggregates many third-party series, and we did not see one published formula that re-derives a SIREN-style tempo score from those inputs.
Which complementary index is not a doom index?
For which model is smartest, cheapest or fastest, use Artificial Analysis. That is independent quality, speed and cost. SIREN is tempo. They pair; they do not substitute. We link out; we do not republish their leaderboard.
What questions do people actually ask?
Which AI doom indexes can you compare?
SIREN next to DoomBench, Skynet Countdown, p(doom) clocks, PizzINT and Takeoff Tracker — method by method. SIREN is an hourly recomputable activity count; the others are judgement scores, countdowns, opinions, or title hijacks.
How do they compare side by side?
SIREN is an hourly recomputable activity count; the rivals are judgement scores, countdowns, opinions, or title hijacks. The table below compares method by method.
Which rival should you pick?
Each rival has a dedicated versus page: DoomBench, Skynet Countdown, p(doom) clocks, PizzINT and Takeoff Tracker.
Which complementary index is not a doom index?
For which model is smartest, cheapest or fastest, use Artificial Analysis. That is independent quality, speed and cost. SIREN is tempo. They pair; they do not substitute.

What is the difference between SIREN and DoomBench?
SIREN measures AI activity tempo from public data every hour and publishes a receipt. DoomBench publishes a qualitative doom index from sourced evidence about takeover risk. One is a count; the other is a judgement-scored risk index.
Which AI doom index can I recompute myself?
SIREN. Clone the repo, run the collector, and compare your number to the published one. DoomBench, Skynet Countdown, p(doom) clocks and PizzINT are not independently recomputable as an AI activity count from open inputs alone.
Is SIREN a DEFCON level or Doomsday Clock?
No. SIREN borrows the countdown grammar only. It does not publish a military DEFCON reading or the Bulletin’s Doomsday Clock. Sites that put those phrases in the title for AI traffic are doing brand hijack; see /guide.html and /vs/pizzint.html.
Does a louder SIREN reading mean AI is more dangerous?
No. The level measures how much is happening — releases, compute, headlines, rule-making and market prices — not whether what happened was good or bad.
