Inspiring examples of how urbanists can respond to crises—even war. Just as in Japan after the 2011 tsunami, we need shared knowledge and a global network of activist urbanists as such emergencies become more common. Back in the day we had #ArchitectureForHumanity

This framing of “legitimate discussions” on nuclear topics suggests that national security experts who work entirely with publicly accessible knowledge/data shouldn’t try to analyze what public info/tools rogue proliferators could potentially use.
what's interesting here is less that Anthropic put nuke guard rails on Claude and more HOW they did it. They deployed frontier models into a NNSA-controlled Top Secret Amazon server (yes, really) and America's nuclear admins try to make the chatbot help them build a nuke
