In Simulated War Games, Top AI Models Recommended Using Nukes 95% Of The Time

In Simulated War Games, Top AI Models Recommended Using Nukes 95% Of The Time Authored by Rick Moran via PJMedia.com, I've got good news and bad news about AI. The good news is that the dreaded "Skynet" takeover of our nuclear weapons systems isn't going to happen soon. The bad news is that if it ever does give us a Terminator scenario, we're toast. A war game exercise carried out by Kenneth Payne at King’s College London, using three teams running simulations on Chat GPT-5...
