  AIs can't stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations  —  Leading AIs from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google opted to use nuclear weapons in simulated war games in 95 per cent of cases  —  www.newscientist.com/article/ 2516...

  AI keeps recommending nuclear strikes when put into wargame tests, a new study finds... which is... alarming.  By me for @newscientist.com  —  www.newscientist.com/article/ 2516...

  Looks like Matthew Broderick lied to me in War Games (1983).

  @samstein >"leading AIs from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google" >it's the shitty free models (GPT-5.2-Instant, Claude Sonnet 4, Gemini 3 Flash) “Researchers” just can't help themselves can they? This needs to be replicated with the reasoning models.

  The AIs really can't wait to nuke us all: When modern LLMs are asked to play simulated geopolitical war games, they recommend using nuclear weapons in about 95% of scenarios. New article from @newscientist magazine: https://www.newscientist.com/ ... HT @samstein [image]

  Advanced AI models are willing to deploy nuclear weapons without the same reservations humans have when put in simulated war games.  The scenarios involved intense international standoffs, including border disputes, competition for scarce resources, and existential threats to reg…
