Bunkers in the southern hemisphere are supposedly safe in case on nuclear war. But what is the connection to AI x-risk?

predictedYES

@mariopasquato The pressure on humanity to eventually build aligned ASI doesn't stop with a nuclear war. It will still be essential to have as many safety-oriented researchers working on the problem as possible.

And I suspect there is so little AI x-risk-oriented intellectual capital in locations likely to survive a nuclear war today that even $10M on a properly located and stocked compound + AI lab with a couple dozen high-calibre rationalists (e.g. Nate Soares) could increase the probability of existential security by a factor over 1/20, given a nuclear war.

predictedNO

@HedShock Is this an actual project by EA or just your speculation at the moment?

predictedYES

@mariopasquato just speculation at the moment
