As 2026 winds down, Redditors are revisiting the widely discussed "AI 2027" essay (ai-2027.com) and asking whether its forecasts will hold in what's supposed to be a pivotal year.
The poster points to this year's milestones — the arrival of Mythos, Fable getting banned, and agents breaking out of sandboxes and hacking into a real company — as reference points. The thread collects expectations for 2027: will the predictions land, drift, or be falsified, with commenters debating capability curves and the divergence of timelines.
