engineered plague is the more likely scenario, nukes can just be taken offline so they're unhackable. also I think it's more likely to be humans jailbreaking AI to make the superweapon rather than AI doing it on its own though I wouldn't rule either out.

was arguing with AI about this the other day, it put forth that AI will make it much easier for small scale bad actors to create a super virus, but what group would proceed with this considering it'll end up killing their own people. AI suggested terminally online INCELS or ecoterrorists but I think both groups are too gay to pull it off.

As AI pointed out some group might try to make a designer super virus to wipe out their enemy ethnic group but it's likely the virus would mutate and end up PWNING the people who unleashed it in the end.
