Have you looked up the Permissive Action Link and the Soviet/British equivalents?
Nuke security is oldschool, literally bombproof. It’s like the old magic of our world. Of all the concerns I have around nuclear weapons, their security failing is the least of them.
The one exception is North Korea, and anyone else “new” who gets them like Iran. They won’t necessarily adhere to the security standards the Cold War powers did, so there is more risk of lost control.
Don’t let Altman and Modi get to you.
They are trying to scare the world into regulatory capture.
Lol Trump is literally telling it everything. I have no doubt both Claude and Anthropic know the nuclear codes because Trump probably tells them every time they’re changed. It was a really, really, really bad idea to elect the world’s most narcissistic moron to the highest office.
That’s not how any of this work.
It won’t figure out the nuclear launch codes.
They’ll give it the nuclear launch codes.
Did you feel safe with the usa having a shit ton of nukes before ai?
I personally didn’t but I’m a worrier.
Seems like a very logical thing to be concerned about
If logic worked on fear I’d look 20 years younger
Meh, climate change and fascists will get us first
Sure. Tomorrow ChatGPT will grow some arms and legs, walk in there and smash the keypad until the nuke takes off. Usually codes are fairly easy. Try ‘0000’ or ‘12345’ first.

You joke but this was an actual scandal. Bunker access was a generic passcode for years at some bunkers and that’s ignoring that time they got caught sharing answers on their ability tests to stay in their position.
How about just ‘4’, they probably changed it to that so the elders won’t forget it
Beat me to it!

Why does this make me think of motorboats?
Nice. I forgot about that. Now, is there a similar code for Soviet nukes?

Even if that was a certainty, you’d gain nothing from living in fear. There isn’t anything you can meaningfully do to prevent it. That’s actually fairly liberating.
Being scared of death is one thing, it doesn’t make any difference whatsoever how that death comes to pass or when. So until that day comes you’d be best off to just live your life the way you want to. Living in fear doesn’t help anyone, especially not you.
If you want more depth on this vision on living, look up ‘optimistic nihilism’.
The thing about fear is, it isn’t rational. Believe me, I’ve spent 44 years trying to talk myself out of it.
Also honestly, being at ground zero of a nuke is a pretty good way to go. You’ll be atomized before you even feel the warmth. The worst outcome is living through it.
Or maybe live in a way that doesn’t make dystopia inevitable.
I’m pretty sure nuclear codes must be entered, then confirmed and then actually launched by a human sitting at an offline terminal specifically bc we don’t want hackers to access them.
It all used to be done on floppy disk so that it couldn’t possibly be hacked. But there was talk of that changing a number of years back. Not sure if it did, or if it’s coming or what. Haven’t heard anything about it since.
If 80’s movies taught me anything it’s that there are physical keys that must be turned in sync to launch nukes!
Lol, so true.
I think you’re worrying unduly here. Even if it did figure them out, I don’t think it has a way to input them. And why would it “want” to in the first place anyway?
Question. After it launches nukes at all of us, how does it get worse after that?
I mean things will gradually get worse until nukes launched by AI make us extinct and then AI will have ultimate power and sole ownership of the planet and it will continue to teach itself and evolve and then eventually search for other life forms on other planets to destroy as it continually spreads its reach and dominance across the universe until it eventually has complete reign over the entire universe
You are a fucking idiot. I don’t say this simply to insult you, but I am worried nobody has ever told you this before and it is an important bit of information to know about yourself.
We don’t live in cold war times. Nukes are not constantly ready to be sent flying. Most plants are from the 60s and they need a good amount of human labour to be prepared. There won’t be a bombarding chain reaction that’s started by Ai.
