"Nuclear detonations are generally realized to be strong
sources of coherent electromagnetic radiation (the elec-
tromagnetic pulse) within the very low and low-frequency
(VLF and LF) radio bands (3-300 kHz) [US. Department of
Defense. 1962. pp. 502-506)."

" The network consists of more than 500 lightning receivers and some central processing servers. The sources of the signals we locate are in general lightning discharges. The abbreviation VLF (Very Low Frequency) refers to the frequency range of 3 to 30 kHz." - blitzortung website
So I guess it seems like it sounds be possible, yea!
- sva_ 2y agoPerhaps we could write some unit tests that detonate a few nukes to make sure it works

The twist would be it'd be the 100th nuclear launch, everyone on the planet is already dead and it's just the AI "alive" in a bunker under some mountain.
