Uh-oh.

' #Artificialintelligence companies have been urged to replicate the safety calculations that underpinned Robert #Oppenheimer ’s first #nucleartest before they release all-powerful systems.

Max #Tegmark, a leading voice in #AI safety, said he had carried out calculations akin to those of the US physicist Arthur #Compton before the #Trinitytest and had found a 90% probability that a highly advanced AI would pose an existential threat.'

Today in Labor History February 18, 1955: The U.S. launched Operation Teapot at the Nevada Nuclear Test Site. Teapot included 14 nuclear bomb tests. Wasp was the first, detonated on February 18. It had a yield of 1.2 kilotons. During shot Wasp, ground forces participated in Exercise Desert Rock VI. This included an armored task force moving to within 3,000 ft of ground zero, while the mushroom cloud was still growing. From 1945 through 1962, the U.S. conducted 230 atmospheric nuclear weapons tests, with approximately 235,000 military personnel participating. Most were enlisted men, from the navy. However, millions of people were exposed to the fallout from U.S. nuclear weapons tests in the southwest of the U.S. and the Marshall Islands. University of Arizona economist Keith Meyers estimates that radioactive fallout was responsible for 340,000 to 690,000 American deaths from 1951 to 1973.

A square of 1 mile for each side, located in proximity to the Trinity Nuclear Test Site. No information available but it is most likely part of an old nuclear test site too.

A satellite picture a desolate landscape, in a desertic area. The surroundings consists of dry, cracked earth and sparse vegetation. The central focus is a large, dark square patch which contrasts sharply with the lighter surroundings.

Sacred #PeaceWalk to #NuclearTest Site

"The spirit of #AaronBushnell and the deadly fires and incineration of #Hiroshima and #Nagasaki were felt deeply as our souls cried out for a cease fire and an end to the #genocide in #Palestine along with atonement for the egregious offenses in #Ukraine and other parts of the world, past and present"

"Western #Shoshone led the Sacred Peace Walk for their annual prayers from Las Vegas to the Nevada National Security Test Site. Starting on Palm Sunday, walkers gathered at the #AtomicMuseum and walked to the National Security Test Site."

Highlights:

- Peace #Activists Arrested at Creech Air Force Base -- Two women crossed the line at the Nuclear Test Site

- Nevada's Drone Operators and Bombing Ranges -- The Deadly Toll on Western Shoshone, #Paiute and Humanity

- Paiute Journalist #MyronDewey Killed after Live-streaming from Bombing Range

Today (March 1) is the 70th anniversary of the #Bravo Test, the largest nuclear weapon test ever conducted by the US, on #Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. It was a radiological disaster that resulted in the irradiation and forced displacement of whole communities.

Here is an article I wrote 7 years ago about how Bravo put the word #fallout into our lexicon.
