advanced, very advanced cyber AI invalidates nuclear deterrence.

What do I mean by this?

Right now,

you know, nobody fires nukes because we have MAD, we have Mutually Assured Destruction, and if I do a first strike against another country, they're going to be able to, while that nuke is in the air, do a second strike and we'll both, you know, there'll be destruction on both sides.

It'll be really bad.

So because of this second strike capability, luckily, we have a proper, you know, we have real deterrence.

Well, what if instead...

Let's say I'm in the United States and I have the most advanced AI cyber hacking capabilities in the world.

I can build AI agents that can hack into any other country, can turn off their energy grid, can disable their weapon systems, can disable everything.

What do I do instead?

I launch the first strike.

First, I send in my cyber AI agent capabilities.

I send my cyber AI force effectively to disable all the weapon systems.

of the enemy country.

And because I have so much AI capacity, I can disable all of your weapon systems.

And then I send my first strike.

And then you don't have a second strike capability.

So if that happens, basically the combination

of AI and nuclear... You cannot deter AI plus nuclear with just nuclear.

So then it forces this... That's what will force this proliferation of AI capabilities.
