What changed · November 2026: Hype Index 69→72 — the claims got bigger, and so did the bill. The state renamed the era: an executive order inaugurated “the Era of Super Intelligence”, absorbing September’s AGI era, and on 17 October an Anthropic co-founder told an IMF audience that the singularity has begun. The money argument won the month: Meta, Alphabet and Amazon reported negative free cash flow, the Nasdaq closed October at a near three-month low, neocloud became the word for the bust and circular financing went from pundit vocabulary to an S-1 risk factor. Security got a month name, Black October, and rogue agents held at the ceiling. The naming treadmill stalled on the harness — no new engineering rung found a second source — and the renaming went elsewhere: Anthropic’s S-1 calls agents Virtual Collaborators, its academy calls FDEs Frontier Deployed Engineers, and System One models became decision models. The loop’s real successor is autoresearch: the loop, pointed at research. New (10): Black October, Virtual Collaborators, Decision models, Autoresearch, AI agent identity, Disposable applications, The singularity has begun, Distillation attacks, AI psychosis, Compaction. Risers: Slopaganda (the US midterms), AI capex bubble, Circular financing, Neocloud, The harness, Forward deployed engineer. Coolers: Pace the frontier and AGI era, trigger to trough in one edition; Skill engineering and Continual learning slide into the trough; Graph engineering, Workslop, Recursive self-improvement, Super Intelligence. Corrections: AI 2027’s authors never “retired” it — in August they moved their automated-coder median earlier, to November 2027; Brockman said “we are now in the AGI era”, not “welcome to the AGI era”; “the phrase belongs to explainers”, our test-time compute line, was falsified by Meta on 12 October; agent washing dates from Gartner in June 2025 and rogue agents from March, not May and July; and the Stop Rogue AI Act asks NIST for an agent inventory — Congress mandates nothing. A source audit also found fourteen cards whose quote was paraphrased, spliced, unsourced or not on the page we linked; each is fixed and noted on its card.
