Yes they claim that AI is more powerful than nuclear weapons. But nuclear weapons give a person the power to eliminate a city of 10 million people with the push of a button. So I kind of think nuclear weapons are still more powerful than AI. I think the real kernel of truth here is that AI companies are trying to control a narrative to justify government contracts. They want to be too big to fail. When you become too big to fail you get to run your airplanes into the ground, make shitty cars, dump oil into the ocean a million barrels a day on accident, lend money to people who have clearly no ability to pay it back, and other shenanigans all for the cost of a slap on the wrist.
