Good morning, United States. It was a quiet night, so here's what's worth your time.

Last week

• What the ‘era of super intelligence’ means—and what the new federal label changes (Oct. 4). Trump’s Executive Order 14434 directs agencies to replace “AI” with “SI” in communications; the federal definition remains unchanged for now.
• Cornell fraternity assault allegations: A timeline of the case and reopened investigation (Oct. 3). Tompkins County DA Matthew Van Houten reopened an inquiry into alleged assaults at Cornell’s Chi Phi house in Ithaca, with grand-jury review planned.
• Tennessee halts Christa Pike execution after two injections (Oct. 1). Christa Pike’s execution was halted in Nashville after two pentobarbital injections, her attorneys said; officials have not said why it stopped.
