Vermeer’s “Evaluating Select Global Technical Options for Countering a Rogue AI” mentions that “longer wires will pick up more of the energy from the pulse than shorter wires do, so devices attached to very long cables are more vulnerable.”
This made me wonder whether hardware modifications like attaching such cables to GPUs to increase their susceptibility to HEMPs would be worth exploring as a cheaper and less technically complex short-term alternative to the proposals for hardware-based chip shutdown options.
