International With open source AI, eventually in the near future, every country will have nukes

[F1980]

It's going to be interesting to live in a world where practically every country will have nuclear weapons with the help of open source AI. And weapons that will even be more destructive than the hydrogen bomb. And weapons that will be able to destroy the planet. The US will not be able to bully other countries like we've been able to.

I don't know what the future holds, but it's scary. It could go either way or any which way we can think of.

Don't do drugs and start threads on Fridays guys.

Interesting take.

Even with AI, Rwanda isn't getting a nuke. . .

But yes, eventually, all major powers will have them. It will be an explosively good time.

Skynet will solve that problem!

Ooof. Making nukes is an engineering challenge more than anyone else, the science is fairly straight forward. No amount of AI is going to conjure up the billions of dollars it takes the develop them. There's a reason the Manhattan Project was faster than any other effort to date.

I don't think it's just a matter of know-how, but it's a matter of being able to develop it and I think that's trackable by satellites so I'm not sure that's true.


But everybody can make chemical weapons and biological weapons once there's open source AI and have sophisticated means of spreading them.


Not just nation states but lone psychos and any other kind of group.

Lmao.

Lmao.

Im not worrying about nukes so much as the impact of AI in general.

It'll probably be awesome for medicine and cure a shitload of diseases, but it'll probably be terrible for jobs in general that require human input and expertise.

I also think it'll make people really dumb. I think the internet/computers already allow dumb people to overachieve intellectually, which reduces evolutionary cues toward developing higher functioning of various brain areas, and AI could exacerbate that problem.

The internet/computers in general have definitely reduced my own vocabulary/spelling/math skills. Why flex when google and autocorrect do it for you?

Creativity and inventiveness will take a hit as well. There just wont be as much incentive to excel or discover when you know you've already been pwned by a computer before you were even born.

Why write music or paint?

Sounds depressing

The real threat is AI overriding systems of control and being able to take control of your own nukes.
