I'm sorry about your back injury; must have been a nuisance for someone so active and I hope you get back to full health soon. I am very fortunate in that I do not wish to survive a nuclear war. When I was a tween, my mother befriended a young immigrant doctor from Ukraine at church. It turned out he had been one of the first medical doctors sent to Pripyat right after the Chornobyl explosion in April of 1986. We watched him year by year slowly succumb to the long-term effects of radiation poisoning. He died of liver cancer just shy of 40. I appreciate your discussion of this topic so frankly and all the walking you did in such a determined way, but at least the setting was beautiful! Thanks for posting!
I really enjoyed this video, if you did more videos where you walk and talk, I would watch them. Not sure why, but there is something about ‘going for a walk’ that I enjoy in a video.
I can't recommend this recent 80,000 Hours podcast episode about how a nuclear war would play out with Annie Jacobsen enough. It's extremely chilling, but extremely important. 80000hours.org/podcast/episodes/annie-jacobsen-nuclear-catastrophe-escalation/ Unfortunately, I heard about it and listened to it after I filmed this video. It would have increased my understanding of what nuclear war would look like.
I talked a bit about how AI would affect mutually assured destruction at 31:16, but I didn't really talk about how AI might be used more directly. Mostly that's because I just don't know much about that! I don't really have anything to add.
ICONIC 🎉🥳🚶
This is very interesting !

Thank you for sharing this. I'm sorry to hear about your mothers' friend. My word... how horrifying that must have been.

Oh that's cool to know! This was very experimental so I'm glad to hear you liked it. I may do another in the future!

I’ve only just started the video so you may answer this question, but how is it how could AI be used in nuclear weapons systems?
