I know someone is gonna be like: You can’t build a nuke with only the information, the hard part is getting the [uranium/plutonium (or whatever its calledl]!

Thought Experiment:

Suppose in the future, humans all have an innate ability to summon nuclear bombs by doing a ritual, should instructions on how to do this ritual be legal to disseminate?

Or would you censor it for the safety of everyone? I mean, imagine everyone having a nuke that they can just summon… 👀

So… what say you, fellow fediverse user?

Should this hypothetical “summon-a-nuke” ritual be legal to teach people?

    what is your threat model? the fact that one person can’t plausibly know many advanced fields at once in sufficient detail limits risk significantly when you don’t ignore that experts are rare
