The post discussed the possibility of an disaster in line with Chernobyl or Three Mile Island; I chose to focus on the conscious use of AI for destruction, a la Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
I’ll have to think more about the difference between “industrial accident”/”natural phenomenon” and “purposeful attack” when it comes to thinking about the effect catastrophes have on technology.

Here’s a related post I recalled from recently, just in case you hadn’t seen it or others are interested in reading more on this topic: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/LzKJMx9jqt3bDujij/yes-ai-research-will-be-substantially-curtailed-if-a-lab
(I don’t have a strong opinion/take on the idea right now, need to think more about it.)
Thanks, I missed that somehow.
