Fixated on AI, the world has forgotten what is staring it in the face: nuclear annihilation | Simon Tisdall
TL;DR
This is no scoffing matter. The accelerating proliferation of advanced nuclear weapons is bringing ‘end times’ closer by the day Humankind has fearfully and sometimes joyfully anticipated the end of the world ever since it began. The Bible’s Book of Revelation speaks of “end times”, a period of tribulation, war, famine, plague, floods and environmental catastrophe that may seem a less absurd prospect today than perhaps it once did. Islam, too, posits a fateful day of judgment or day of reckoning.
Nauti's Take
AI teams should add geopolitical resilience to their risk review: which cloud regions, providers, and communication channels does the workflow depend on during a crisis? Map those dependencies once, then decide which processes need local options, multiple vendors, or a manual fallback.
