Not hallucinations. Not the absence of a regulatory framework, though that is its own disaster in slow motion. The projects I worry about most have already left the debate stage. They are infrastructure now; quietly, permanently and without anyone voting on them.<\/p>\n<p>I call this the normalisation stack. Not one system. Not one company. A set of interlocking projects that, taken together, are reshaping war, identity, trust and political persuasion faster than any government, regulator or boardroom can respond. None of them require artificial general intelligence to be dangerous. They just need to ship.<\/p>\n<p>Here are five that deserve your attention right now.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-anduril-s-autonomous-weapons-factory\">1.

The Lattice software platform running underneath processes 2.4 terabytes of sensor data daily across 100-plus installations.
