    This comment was a joke right? "Launch the nukes"? What nukes?!? Do you not know the difference between nuclear power generation and nuclear bombs?

      Yes. It's just a joke about Skynet and AM. People are really quick to jump to dogpile without realizing it's a joke. The idea wasn't that it would use its reactor as a weapon, but it would access the military's weapons. Without needing outside power, it have no reason not to.

      You misread that comment, they are saying that the power generation will be detached from the grid if they go this way and then if the AI gains control of nuclear bombs (separate thing from what the article is about) like shown in fictional stories they'll not have a reason to not use it as they won't be afraid of affecting their own power generation
