Nuclear war is still an overhanging threat that we should be concerned about, especially in the day and age of automation and AI.



Nuclear weapons and their dangers are real, unlike AGI which poses hypothetical risks .


When did the dangers of nuclear weapons become real?

The Chicago Pile? Trinity? Hiroshima? Nagasaki? RDS-1?


Once you have them or can make them. If they had remained a hypothetical because there is no known way to make them, the world would look quite different.
