I lived through roughly the latter half of the cold war and both of my parents were soldiers. I lived in West Germany etc.

No we have not escaped the nuclear thing. If anything, the current Russian tzar is rather more unhinged than any of his predecessors.

I doubt many here know what perestroika and glasnost mean or why those Russian words were so important back in the day.

I don't fear AI (where on earth would an "autonomous" AI manage to find the power requirements). Darleks can't really fly and LLMs will stop when you pull the plug!

I do fear numpties with a red button and a tenuous grip on reality.

Understood. This is a dire situation. But it's not hopeless. Same for AI.
