> As machines grow in capacity, eliminating any threat perception of humanity as a threat will be crucial. This requires addressing the three key drivers of human conflict: resource contention, ideological differences, and untreated intergenerational trauma. Resolving these factors would reduce threat both within humanity and from humanity’s perspective to machines.
The author apparently sees this as a good thing, but I really don't want a disarmed and brainwashed humanity. Game theorists and nuclear war planners have already thought of ways to defeat this however, you simply treat any attempt to dismantle or disarm your second strike capability the same as an existential first strike, enacting a "second strike first" plan to prevent the enemy gaining leverage over you.
From another perspective, the optimal strategy (and a honest strategy, you need to be highly committed and your enemy needs to know about it) is to enact the best first strike you can under the current time pressure if any tampering or signs of future attempted defeat of your second strike capability is detected, as fast as possible.
