AIs canβt 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
95% of AI nuclear wargames end with a nuke deployed.
LLMs aren't intelligent. They don't hesitate, grieve or live with consequences.
Gamblers are betting on a nuke being dropped in Iran. We are seconds from apocalyptic midnight.

UN data shows 6.5 million people at risk of severe hunger from drought
Nearly 6.5 million people in Somalia are facing severe hunger as worsening drought, conflict and global aid cuts intensify the country's humanitarian crisis, the federal government and U.N. agenciesβ¦
Millions in Somalia are inching toward famine. Drought and hunger are arriving together, as scientists warned. Yet aid is being cut as the crisis deepens.
These aren't statistics β they are people. Abandoned by a system that had every warning and chose profit anyway.

When the science says collapse is βacceleratingβ and our systems respond with half-measures, what do we call that?
In Suicide, I argue this is organised civilisational self-destruction β and that we still have agency to stop it.

Conclusion:
The climate system is destabilising faster than our politics.
Natural buffers are weakening.
Health, food, labour, and ecosystems are all interconnected and at high risk.
Acceleration is the word of our collapse.
