> Who knows how many of us reading this would never have existed if nukes hadn't been invented. You can't make the argument 'the Manhattan project, we blow the planet up, the end".

I don’t think that argument against anti-LLM uses works as the response would be “nukes weren’t launched as we had humans in the loop. Without a stopgap like that maybe a nuke would launch if there was a 50.001% chance of our side winning”

The counter counter argument to that would be that there isn’t enough weighing to how terrible a nuclear war would be and then maybe the LLM would change its mind. But who knows.
