It might but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
I’d be more concerned about what I call “the dumbot apocalypse”
Which is to say AI does accelerate the collapse of society. But it’s not because We Created God Only For He To Turn On Us ™ – It’s because some politician, drunk on hype fed to him by venture capitalists and techbros, puts an AI (and I mean these current AIs) in charge of something very important that by no means should be controlled by an AI, even if that AI WERE human level intelligence, and what we call AI right now is not even close – And then the inevitable ChatGPT Hallucination ™ takes place and the bot decides that a war with China is the only way to increase corporate profits for the next quarter or whatever. Humanity nukes itself, and maybe the humans pressing the button don’t even realise their orders come from an LLM.
… And then the machines immediately shut down, because even these pretend, toy AIs we have right now are straining the global power grids, so the micro-instant electricity production slips, they’ll drop like flies (Roko’s Basilisk MFs when a minor brownout takes out their ‘god’)
I think I already live in one of the places least likely to be involved in WW3
The countryside of Brazil
In the previous two World Wars Brazil only got involved because people pressured the president to do so, otherwise we could have just sat the entire thing out.
Like, life will get shittier here too, but it is VIOLENTLY unlikely that there will be any fighting in our soil or even a draft to send soldiers to the war. (and I aggressively doubt there will be any kind of nuke-related mutually assured destruction shenanigans. The elites don’t benefit from causing the apocalypse)
