AI game theory removes the trust that constrained nuclear race

AI's game theory differs dangerously from nuclear game theory: with nuclear weapons, you can trust that your adversary, as a fellow mammal, also wants to avoid annihilation, creating a basis for coordination; with AI, if a builder believes it's inevitable they get an ethical off-ramp ('someone would have done it anyway'), and even in a humanity-ending outcome they may subconsciously prefer that the surviving AI carry their DNA or logo—'the end of the world has your logo on it.'
