Is anyone else sick of living in a reality which is nothing but all the #dystopian #fiction from 50 years ago?

We have #JamesBond villains ( #Musk)

We have #InvasionoftheBodySnatchers zombification ( #MAGA)

Etc, etc.

And now we have #Wargames:

" #AI s can’t stop recommending #nuclear strikes in #war game #simulations

Leading AIs from #OpenAI, #Anthropic and #Google opted to use #nuclearWeapons in simulated war games in 95 per cent of cases"

#PostOfTheWeek (season 3):
Advanced AI models appear willing to deploy nuclear weapons without the same reservations humans have when put into simulated geopolitical crises.

Kenneth Payne at King’s College London set three leading large language models – GPT-5.2, Claude Sonnet 4 and Gemini 3 Flash – against each other in simulated war games.

@Lestat1977
The scenarios involved intense international standoffs, including border disputes, competition for scarce resources and existential threats to regime survival.
