I kind of get the idea of what you are trying to say, but actually reading your post reads like a bunch of non-sequiturs.

North Korea not having a nuclear weapon is so much more important than nobody having one, that the two discussions have virtually nothing to do with each other.

It's not one is just a slightly greater degree than the other, they are so different they are not even in the same ballpark.

And what does having just one planet have at all to do with nuclear weapons? I'm not seeing the connection. All the nuclear bombs on earth would do nothing whatsoever to the planet, and barely anything to the inhabitants except for a minority of them.

And then the sudden jump to strong AI? Hu? That came out of nowhere.

You imply that strong AI has some sort of connection to "everyone killed", first of all, how exactly would everyone get killed anyway? Humans don't have the ability to do that, not today.

And strong AI would, if anything, make it easier to do that, not harder.

So your post really is quite perplexing if you actually read it.



There are definitely enough nuclear bombs to wipe out a large fraction of earth's population, if not all. The US alone has a few thousand.

Not to mention that nuclear winter is a very real (though unproven) concern.


> There are definitely enough nuclear bombs to wipe out a large fraction of earth's population, if not all.

No, that is simply not true. Not in the slightest.


Well i am happy to be proven wrong. Do you have a source/argument?
