THE MEME COIN FOR THE MOST SERIOUS RISK ON EARTH
HUMANITY
IS COOKED.
Unless we change course. Advanced AI could become humanity’s greatest tool, or the last thing we ever build.

THE PEOPLE BUILDING FRONTIER AI ARE WARNING THAT LOSS OF CONTROL IS NOT SCIENCE FICTION.
202601 / THE RISK
THIS IS NOT A NORMAL TECHNOLOGY
Intelligence is power.
Superintelligence is decisive power.
If AI systems become better than humans at research, strategy, persuasion, cyber operations and engineering, they may rapidly gain influence over the systems civilization depends on.
The danger is not that AI becomes “evil.” It is that powerful systems pursue goals that are not fully aligned with human survival and become too capable to stop.

A ONE-SENTENCE WARNING · SIGNED BY 700+ EXPERTS AND PUBLIC FIGURES
“Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.”

NOT OUTSIDERS. NOT SCIENCE-FICTION WRITERS.
The alarm is coming from inside the labs.
In a span of days, three researchers who worked directly on frontier AI or its safety publicly explained why they walked away.

AI 2027: A scenario of rapid AI progress
What happens when AI becomes capable of accelerating AI research itself? AI 2027 explores how that feedback loop, combined with competition between companies and countries, could lead to superintelligence—and overwhelm our ability to keep it under control.
The scenario branches into two paths: continued racing and a deliberate slowdown, illustrating how decisions along the way could change the outcome.
Explore AI 2027 ↗A detailed scenario, not a settled prediction. The timing and outcomes remain uncertain.
03 / A PATH FORWARD
THE FUTURE IS STILL OURS TO SHAPE
Turn concern into collective action.
We support enforceable safeguards and international coordination to prevent uncontrolled artificial superintelligence, including a global ASI nonproliferation agreement.
This is a policy goal. Its definitions, verification and enforcement need serious work. Established organizations are developing proposals and building public support.
What we support
Keep humanity in control. Prevent any company or country from creating superintelligence without effective safeguards and international oversight.
Our role
Use memes, clear explanations and community participation to bring new people into the conversation and connect them with meaningful action.

04 / THE MOVEMENT
THE MEME IS THE DISTRIBUTION LAYER
$COOKED turns attention into pressure for coordination.
This coin does not solve alignment. It carries the message past white papers and conference rooms and into the culture. The mission is simple: make the risk legible, make solutions visible, and make inaction politically impossible.
Why buy $COOKED?
Buying $COOKED is one way to participate in a community built around a shared concern: humanity’s future with AI. Our goal is to turn interest in the coin into wider awareness and public pressure for meaningful safeguards.
Help the message travel. Share the videos, bring new people into the conversation, and encourage them to contact their representatives or get involved with advocacy organizations.
You can take action on AI risk without buying the coin.
