Quite frankly I find recent events (since January and lately especially) frightening and the emotion is justified and fits the facts.

A lot of guys in the DoD oversell our ability to be precise with advanced ISR and guided munitions, but 1. There's nothing precise about precision munitions beyond where they land, 2. If you think even bullets are precise, you've never been on a range with tracers, and 3. There are always civilians.

Of the 427.9 Megatons expended in all atmospheric nuclear tests from 1945-80, 57% or 244 Megatons (equal to 16,250 Little Boy bombs) occurred during the 16 months from September 1961-December 1962, when the USSR conducted its final such test. The Limited Test Ban Treaty took effect October 10, 1963.

Today in 1958, Charles Schulz’s “Peanuts” cartoon strip addressed a subject on the minds of many Americans.
Ten months later, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union entered into a mutual moratorium on nuclear testing as they endeavored to negotiate an end to all such tests.

“If a woman dares to show herself in public in any way, then she can and will be sexually harassed with the aid of genAI-driven tools that can easily turn her face into highly realistic pornography” is an absolute red-alarm human rights disaster
The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.
