I think I also remember that interview or maybe a YouTube video about it. Something like what would we do if someone discovered that you can put sand and magnets into a microwave with the plate rotating counterclockwise and it goes gigantic boom. Have a look at the Veritasium YouTube channel, I have very vague memories that it might have been there. Or maybe Vsouce or Kurzgesagt.

EDIT: The Vulnerable World Hypothesis [1] with the Easy Nukes thought experiment. And this a TED talk with the author [2] and probably what I watched.

I am afraid that current AI models are the black balls. For example it is now close to impossible to verify anything, even that whether the Russians nuked half of the country or not. (It is somehow doable with trusted chains, but can you really trust them?)

Also I suspect that hacking AI will be much more powerful than any hacking with hand soon.

I wouldn't argue the current models are, but we are definitely up to our elbow in cookie jar at the moment.

This doesn't seem to be it I'm afraid, but thanks for trying, and that's an interesting contribution to the discussion in itself.
