Is AI Worse Than Nuclear Weapons ???

Here are two essays which claim AI is a national security imperative:

You may recall this is the way nuclear weapons were sold to the US Congress and We the People - by claiming they were inevitable, likely to be developed by our "enemies", and something we could not live and thrive without. And here we are, 80 years later, still being fed the same line of BS.

Human activity can occur on a broad spectrum ranging from cooperation to warfare, but unless you've been asleep you know the US doesn't EVER cooperate or coexist. Our "leaders" always have to come out on top, no matter what, no matter who has to suffer or die.

This time, please don't drink their Kool-Aid. Nukes are bad enough, but their adverse effects have so far prevented their widespread use in warfare. AI, on the other hand, doesn't produce deadly radionuclide fallout, making it much more likely to be used on a wide scale. But, like nuclear weapons, it has the capacity to cause our extinction.

To me, that makes it like "giving an idiot child a machine gun" as one of our sages has observed.

Wake up, people - make peace, stop making enemies, and stop listening to the maniacs who control our military and our government. They really don't have our best interests in mind.
