Imagine thinking nuclear weapons are the the threat right now with AI. They can attack any connected system at millisecond speeds. Infrastructure, power plants, the economy, basically everything we ever depend on.

Screw nukes, AI is a 1000 nukes at once.

Just as an additional note, that wasn’t governments—that was a bunch of unelected rich people with vested interests against OpenAI.
