If you're reading this, and you work on AI, please stop. Yes, I know someone else will just take your place; it doesn't matter. There is a personal moral hazard to your soul, if you can still be persuaded that you have one.
Moral injury is real and you do not want it.

If you want something to read, _The Golden Gate_, by Vikram Seth, which touches ever-so-slightly on nuclear arms development, is a good place to start --- 'about the thing without being about the thing'.
[Full disclosure: I quit a job in AI myself for this reason. Hardest thing I ever did.]
