Back in the 50s-70s, both the US and Soviet Union were experimenting with peaceful uses for nuclear bombs. Between the two of us, around 150 nuclear bombs were detonated in the effort.
A simple list of things guaranteed to definitely 100% make the world a safer place and without any repercussions whatsoever and absolutely won't start WW3 and everyone will be happy and.. what was that about star trek?
Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer gets a gun and starts using it in all sorts of unintended ways. Need to turn off the light? Shoot the lightbulb.
It's sort of always this way. Some new advancement comes out and a whole lot of snake oil salesmen come out of the woodwork trying to come up with other ways to sell the new tech. AI and LLMs do have their uses, but not nearly the way it's being hyped.

I hate that jokes are real now. They’re less funny that way.

Is there anything bombs can't solve?

Math equation.

Bomb-based logic gates could change that.

I love that they think we can nuke our allies a dozen times and still have them as allies

Ok hear me out: nukes are woke because you can save on manpower.
Nukes are only non-woke when used in artillery. Davy Crockett is non-woke.

IIRC thermonuclear mining was on Thunderbirds International Rescue, it's not a new concept.

During the Nuclear hype, everyone was trying to solve every problem with nukes or radiation somehow. Luckily, it didn't get very far.
