So there is a story about the "top 10 cities at risk during nuclear war" circulating in various tabloids/etc. with my name attached to it, and I will say that a) I never have (nor would) make such a list at all, and b) I never said any of the quotes attributed to me in the article.
This may sound insane but I can't help but see 15 years of unregulated Counter Strike connected child casinos as setting a dark precedent a lot of people ignored

Proof that the AI and nuclear question is far weirder than we expected
thanks to @nktpnd.bsky.social for talking to me about the current obsession with seeing AI as nuclear weapons. A strange and useful (?) metaphor
