Games, War, and the Absurdity of AI
This chapter humorously examines the intersection of gaming, technology, and global warfare, reflecting on the absurd journey from arcade games to thermonuclear threats. It contrasts past techno-optimism with current societal concerns about AI, while also exploring the cultural impact of films like 'WarGames' and 'Crimson Tide' on perceptions of nuclear strategy. Through playful banter, the discussion highlights how entertainment both reflects and shapes geopolitical realities, often amplifying humanity's darker tendencies.
