That is true, and not exactly what I was getting at. I was more talking about stuff like coups or domestic terrorism, where you can cause a way more wast amount of damage if you have autonomous AI weapons.

Also, there was that one time in the cold war (I think) where the Russian guy refused to launch a nuke, and it turned out it was a false alarm, which has probably saved the world.

Should i.e. Putin decide to hold onto his power at all costs and started leveling cities in Russia, where most people don’t agree with him, you’d probably get a lot of people in the army who wouldn’t be OK with that. Maybe, I don’t know. But should he have an army of autonomous AI weapons, all he needs is a few guys who do, and know how to launch it.
