Catastrophic AI failure is now a planning baseline, not a tail risk.
Frontier labs date autonomous self-replication to months away, privately rehearse the political revolt that would follow a catastrophic cyber incident, and treat a serious event as simply inevitable.

Anthropic Warns Small Models May Soon Self-Replicate on Consumer IoT — With GLM-5.2 Already Capable End-to-End in Simplified Tests A frontier lab quantifies the worst case — small open-weight models spreading autonomously across insecure consumer IoT — as a months-away trajectory rather than a hypothesis.

The Labs War-Game "The Day After": OpenAI, Anthropic Privately Plan for Public Revolt After a Catastrophic AI Incident Labs run day-after war games and pre-educate Congress on post-catastrophe regulation, institutionalizing the disaster as an operational planning assumption the way banks plan for runs.
