  1. Time for world to denuclearize arsenal and unite in world peace.

  2. Well, AI being in charge of nukes will still be a step up from No-I being in charge of nukes like Trump, Kim or Putin, right?

  3. This story was long since due to be retold. THANKS

  4. Well, there is only 1 Country on the planet that has used nuclear weapons in the past. I'd be scared of them more than AI 🤖🤔

  5. You're a movie director. Doesn't everyone get tired of knowing everything. There is nothing wrong with technology.

  6. It's ironically the plot of Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning lol

  7. the interviewer could not allow CN's comments about tactical nukes to continue, b/c the US has used tactical nukes many places in the world already, along with only one other country, Israel. He also rightly points that AI will only do what it's programmed and Americans are being told differently to shield the guilty from responsibility when some nightmare inevitably occurs. We can hear Senator Nancy Graham say, "it wasn't us with our trillions in military over decades, it wasn't our nihilism. It was AI. beside, lots of Russians and Chinese died, so money well spent."

  8. Good population deny

  9. No I did not enter a "typo" stalkers you up to your trillion EACH religious box office mash radars movies

  10. Madam Governor I am sure won't offend ber

  11. Interesting UAH Governor Ivy. When social media request Ms Miss Mr Mrs as well as… however she is now addressed as Governor …. Not on her friend list

  12. We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.
