If we can’t get it together, perhaps we can at least find out who thinks hooking AIs up to nuclear weapons is an intriguing idea, and respond appropriately.
I unironically find it an intriguing idea, because it seems like it’s a potential solution to certain games of nuclear chicken. If I can prove (or at least present a strong argument) that I’ve hooked up my nuclear weapons to an AI that will absolutely retaliate to certain hostile acts, that seems like a stronger deterrent than just the nukes alone.
After all, the nightmare scenario for nuclear arms strategy is “the enemy launches one nuke”, because it makes all actions seem bad. Retaliating might escalate things further, not retaliating lets your enemies get away with something they shouldn’t be getting away with, etc. etc.
edit: I am of course aware that there are a myriad of things that could easily go wrong when doing this, so please do not take my comment as any kind of advocacy in favor of doing this.
I don’t even know where to begin with the list, but here are the main reasons I suspect people, including myself, did not find Oppenheimer straightforwardly enjoyable.
I knew what was going to happen in advance because it’s historically accurate. That was probably the biggest one for me. Yes, the Bomb is going to work, it’s going to be dropped, Oppenheimer will survive, etc.
It’s three hours of mostly people talking inside rooms, mostly about things I already knew about.
The Scenes depicting his unhappy love-life, especially those including his wife, weren’t interesting to me.
It could have been more about the difficulty of making important moral judgements, but instead focused on political aspects of the project.
