Is it still a "laughable" comparison if AI systems eventually become smart enough to design better nukes?

Yes it is. You can build a bomb many times more powerful than the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki with publicly available information. If the current spat of ai bullshit knows how to build a bomb, they know that because it was on the public internet. They can never know more.

The hard part of building nuclear bombs is how controlled fissile material is. Iran and North Korea for example know how to build bombs, that was never a question.
