Maybe... But, hear me out, what if it means you can win nuclear wars? ๐Ÿค”

What if there are no winners in any wars?

[โ€“] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Let's think here... I've always heard history is written by the victors, which logically implies historians are the most dangerous people on the planet and ought to be detained. ๐Ÿง

Lol .... to an AI, humans on any and all sides can't win a nuclear war .... but AI can.

Not that I want one, but the propaganda around nuclear war has been pretty extensive.

Michael Chrichton wrote about it in the late 90s if I remember right. He made some very interesting points about science, the politicization of science, and "Scientism".

"Nuclear Winter" for example, is based on some very bad, and very incorrect, math.
