Summary

The “Doomsday Clock” has been moved to 89 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been, according to the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

The group cited threats including climate change, nuclear proliferation, the war in Ukraine, pandemics, and the integration of AI into military operations.

Concerns about cooperation between Russia, China, and North Korea on nuclear programs and the potential use of nuclear weapons by Russia were highlighted.

The group urged global leaders to collaborate in addressing existential threats to reverse the clock’s progression.

        …now see, that’s unfair. I want to do something fun with your name, as a fun little back and forth ping pong exchange. But if I did that, it would be like I’m inciting violence… plus it would leave a hand mark on your butt.
