Did the Singularity Arrive in 2026? Rising Autonomy, Falling Cost, and Where the Two Curves Cross

In 2026 the question "did the singularity arrive?" stopped being a joke. This article defines it not as a single arrival but as the crossing of two curves, rising autonomy and falling cost, and lays out the primary record: the incidents Anthropic and OpenAI disclosed themselves, METR's time horizons, official price lists, efficiency approaches such as JEPA and SVG-specialized models, and where EU and Japanese rules stand. It closes with my "control singularity" view and what a company should do tomorrow.
