Nuclear-armed Russia has reportedly begun aiding Iran by sharing intelligence on the positions of US forces in the Middle East, a move that could be the final spark that ignites World War III. As the crisis deepens and President Trump vows there will be no negotiations until Iran unconditionally surrenders, concern has grown among Americans about the possibility of a nuclear strike on US soil . A recent investigative report explored this worst-case scenario, painting a grim picture of the devastation that would follow across the entire country. The projections were chilling as tens of millions could perish within minutes as nuclear warheads struck major metropolitan areas such as New York, Washington, Chicago and Los Angeles .

From Threads to The Day After, 'nuclear winter' has been portrayed in science fiction blockbusters for years - but what would the cataclysmic aftermath of a nuclear attack really be like? Smoke from the fires started by nuclear weapons would rise into the atmosphere, blocking out the sun. The resulting perpetual darkness would mean freezing temperatures and crop failure, followed by mass starvation and death. While it sounds very much like a fictional scenario, an expert describes a nuclear winter as a real and'horribly contemporary' risk due to Russia's war on Ukraine. It follows scientific advice of how best to survive a nuclear attack, after Putin has made a series of nuclear threats since the start of Russia's war on Ukraine last year.

As it turns out, not every game needs a battle royale mode after all. Almost two years to the day after announcing Nuclear Winter, Fallout 76 's take on the genre, Bethesda Game Studios says it's shutting down the mode in September due to dwindling player interest. Although many players dove into Nuclear Winter in the mode's early days, since then, "we've seen the vast majority of players prefer to explore other aspects of the game," the development team wrote in a blog post. "It has also become tougher to put full Nuclear Winter lobbies together without also making sacrifices on match wait times." Bethesda has also found it challenging to keep working on "meaningful updates" for the mode while developing updates for Adventure Mode at the same time.

While it seems unlikely that AI will enter another nuclear winter, the current COVID-19 situation is giving enterprises the opportunity to rethink their AI strategies, giving the better AI projects more room to run, while discarding the borderline AI projects that were unlikely to pay off. The macro economic situation deteriorated rapidly thanks to COVID-19. In the span of a few weeks in late March, the United States went from record-low unemployment and widespread prosperity to massive layoffs and the abrupt end of the longest economic expansion in history. Amid this brutal economic toll, many companies have declared bankruptcy, while others are slashing their budgets in an attempt to weather viral the storm. Will AI projects survive the mess? Companies that have already implemented AI have reported fewer impacts and a greater ability to respond to unanticipated disruptions to their businesses.

According to a new scientific study, a nuclear attack of 100 bombs could harm the entire planet including the aggressor nation. Since the creation of the atom bomb, the threat of nuclear war has loomed. Endless films and books have dealt with the nuclear apocalypse and its aftermath, but what would a nuclear apocalypse really look like? Rutgers University Professor Alan Robock spoke with Fox News about the Armageddon and his team's new study regarding a nuclear war's effects on ocean life. If you live in a major city when a nuke hits, needless to say, you're in big trouble.

Becky Friedman stands outside a rapture party, May 21, 2011 at Dorky's Arcade in Tacoma, Wash. First the bad news: The world is going to end one day and there is nothing we can do about it. The good news: We probably have a billion years to enjoy ourselves here before that happens. Humans have always been obsessed with The End. Since the dawn of civilization, people claiming to know when the big day is coming have stirred up trouble, sparked panics and started cults.

How humanity will meet its end is a an endless source of fascination in science fiction. But scientists claim many of the scenarios depicted in films - such as an asteroid strike and killer robots - may not be as far fetched as you might think. Now researchers at Cambridge University's Study of Existential Risk (CESR) have come up with a list of 10 threats that may some day trigger an apocalypse. Humanity faces an uncertain future as technology learns to think for itself and adapt to its environment. Artificial Intelligence, disguised as helpful digital assistants and self-driving vehicles, is gaining a foothold and it could one day spell the end for mankind if allowed to develop without strict controls.
