@yogthos Do you think there is more awareness of nuclear consequences, than 30 or 40 years ago when the anti-nuk movement was on the rise? The US is signing off every arms control treaty, the last one expires in 2026 i think. Scott Ritter says this scenario would escalate in an arms race again. I say maybe there is no human then, to prevent the nuclear war, but an AI that will trigger the first deploy. Very scary.
@santiago I think the chances of an intentional exchange are low, but as tensions keep escalating the opportunity for a world ending mistake grows significantly.
There were plenty of cases during the cold war when decisions made by a single individual averted a nuclear holocaust. We might not be that lucky going forward.
