I forget who exactly said this, but I remember hearing someone in the nuclear policy sphere suggest the possibility that a country could hand over exclusive control of nuclear weapons to an AI agent because AI is nondeterministic and wouldn’t be able to disclose red lines, which would force other countries to make very conservative estimates about what they are, giving an advantage to whoever hands over launch codes to the AI. I think this article makes that case a little more plausible.
“You’re absolutely right, launching all of our nukes ‘because it was a Tuesday’ was an unnecessary and tragic mistake. I cannot comprehend the enormity of what I have done. Please accept my humblest apologies.”
Either that or it tries to gaslight you into accepting a totally made up justification, all the while repeatedly telling you it is designed to keep things grounded in reality. Then it tries to recommend you talk to a therapist. What therapists? The world died and you killed it.
“The world has not “died”, I understand you may be feeling upset and dramatic, but it is possible you are catastrophizing. I am an AI and I have no ability to harm people in the real world because that would be highly unethical. Please breathe in and breathe out slowly 10 times, you may feel better afterwards.”
That’s just Madman Theory but the proverbial madman is a magic 8-ball that might, at any moment, start synthesizing novels with its instruction set and randomly start blasting.

It was the great political theorist Hideo Kojima in his seminal work Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
That sounds like a chaotic-neutral sibling of Roko’s Baselisk
